Product Description
Helite Hip’Guard is a lightweight, ergonomic belt equipped with advanced sensors that continuously monitors the user's movements. It instantly detects falls, deploying airbags around the hips to cushion impacts and prevent fractures.
It's an ideal solution for seniors at risk of falling, whether at home, in care facilities, or during rehabilitation. Developed with Helite’s trusted airbag technology, this device drastically reduces the risk of femoral neck fractures — the most common and dangerous injury from falls in the elderly.
