The Original HipShield Hip Protectors help guard patients at risk of hip fractures related to lateral falls with closed-cell foam protection pads sewn into the garment. The perforations in the foam allow skin to breathe, help guard against skin breakdown and is able to be worn for long durations of time, comfortably. Cotton/spandex blend is so cool and comfortable, and the HipShield is worn under clothing and will not shift or bunch.
