Studies have documented the effectiveness of external hip protectors in preventing hip fractures. Posey Hipsters feature impact-absorbing pads over the critical hip fracture area to minimize potential damage that can occur from a fall. The brief is made from comfortable poly/cotton Lycra® with a low profile pad positioned over each hip. These low profile pads are sewn into a slim fitting brief allowing the Hipsters to be discreetly worn under clothing. The one-piece design allows for easy laundering at home or in healthcare facilities according to CDC guidelines. The E-Z On Model (#6019) is made of polyester mesh material with hook-and-loop leg straps, and replaceable pads, and is ideal for shower and incontinent use. Fits comfortably around the patient's waist and feature a latex-free elastic waistband. Available in six sizes. Machine washable. One per package.
