Hip protectors worn during falls may help reduce hip fracture 69% - 80%
1 The Cochrane Review2 notes that hip protectors can
be effective in preventing hip fractures; however, compliance (acceptance and adherence) has traditionally been limited. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, compliance can be improved in the following areas:
• Comfort • Style and appearance • Laundry
• Ease of care • Ease of use • Reduced repeat impact performance
These compliance features were the guiding principles in the development of Impactactive hip protectors!
I was introduced to Impactactive
by a staff member at the community where my mother lives...as soon as I saw it I knew this was the right
product for Mom! The hip protectors 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.

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 shield instantly becomes soft, light and flexible again.
