This is the Small version of the Male Hip Protector and is a well designed safety device that protects the hip joint against trauma and fractures.Particularly suitable for those recovering from operations or the elderly, the Male Hip protector is comfortable to wear and very discreet as it may be worn underneath other clothes. In the event of a fall or other impact, the Hip Protector helps to cushion the blow and thus minimises the risk of injury. It does this by deflecting the force of the impact away from the hip joint and absorbing some of the immediate shock. The Male Hip Protector features a compressible honeycomb interior that absorbs impact effectively. The outer surface of this protector is smooth, enabling it to slip easily into a special pocket of the pair of protector pants which are included with purchase. The Male Hip Protector is an effective aid that helps users to heal from operations as well as guard against further injuries.
