Hip Impact Protection, established in 2009, is a brand that offers innovative solutions for hip fracture prevention. They have harnessed the power of newly invented materials technology to create wearable garments that can effectively absorb heavy impacts. Their key product, Fall-Safe, is made of a polyurethane foam with a special dilatant component.

This non-Newtonian compound is soft, comfortable, and pliable, but instantly hardens upon impact to absorb the force of a fall. Fall-Safe is designed to be worn 24/7 and has overcome the issue of patient compliance by providing a comfortable and effective solution. Additionally, Hip Impact Protection has taken into consideration incontinence problems and individual preferences by developing Fall-Safe Apply.

This double-sided, breathable adhesive film allows the hip protectors to be adhered directly to the skin, eliminating the need for special pants. They have also introduced Fall-Safe Assist, a falls detection and alarm system embedded in the hip protectors, offering both protection and prevention in one device. By collecting falls data, Hip Impact Protection aims to provide valuable insights that can contribute to reducing fall-related injuries
