ImpactActive Hip Protectors - protect your hips from injury in a fall.

In many hip fracture patients, recovery is incomplete and overall health deteriorates. (Kaiser Permanente)

95% of hip fractures are caused by a fall (Center for Disease Control and Prevention)
Hip fractures can limit mobility and independence (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) list hip protectors as an effective intervention in their guidelines for reducing hip fractures.

In an abstract presented at the Interdisciplinary Symposium on Osteoporosis, ImpactActive Hip Protectors was compared to other well-known hip protectors and it was confirmed that ImpactActive are the smallest, lightest, and thinnest shield of all the designs evaluated saying, “this same design exhibited impact performance at levels similar to other larger, heavier, and thicker designs”.

ImpactActive uses SoftShield Technology

ImpactActive shields are soft, lightweight and flexible for comfortable and discreet every day wear. Testing completed at an independent biomechanical laboratory has shown ImpactActive shields reduce the force of impact.

HOW
IT
WORKS

The shields are soft, light and flexible for absolute comfort and thin enough to be virtually invisible under clothing.

At the moment of impact the shield momentarily stiffens to form a protective shell to absorb and deflect the impact force.

Once the impact is over, the shields instantly become soft, light and flexible again.

SOFT, LIGHTWEIGHT, FLEXIBLE & COMFORTABLE

SLIM PROFILE

At less than ½ inch thick and weighing less than 2 ounces, the sewn in shields are designed to comfortably wrap around the hip area without being bulky.

ULTRA COMFORTABLE

Soft and lightweight, the unique molding of SoftShield Technology™ enables the protective shields to flex and form with your body. The large range of sizes are designed to help position the shields in the correct place over the greater trochanter.

EASY CARE

Wash and wear convenience. Simply wear, wash and dry just like any other underwear. The whole garment can be washed and tumble dried without having to remove the shields.

“I was introduced to ImpactActive by a staff member at the community where my mother lives...as soon as I saw ImpactActive I knew this was the right product for Mom! They are not bulky and do not show under clothing.
I feel much more at peace now knowing that my Mom is protected should she fall”
