Traditional hip pads don’t work (see study).
For seniors, a hip fracture is one of the most devastating, costly and lifestyle-changing events that can happen. A few statistics:
Hip fractures account for approximately 300,000 U.S. hospital admissions of senior adults 65+ years of age and older per year.
At least 20% of hip fracture patients die within one year of their injury. That's 60,000 people per year!
An additional 25-30% (90,000 people per year) suffering from long term disability require the added expense of nursing homes or private in-home care for up to a year or more.
The average cost for a hip fracture can exceed $30,000 per event, NOT including the cost of a nursing home stay or in-home private nursing care.
Most Hip Protection devices are no more than foam pads and studies show they have only approximately 3% effective rate. This is where the HTK Pad differs and provides the most protection.
The design of the HTK Pad, stands out from the others. The innovative concave design is made of a firm rubber substance. The HTK Pad company worked hand in hand with design engineers to design the pads for optimum impact distribution away from the hipbone.
Worked with design engineers to design the pads for optimum impact distribution away from the hipbone itself.
The design distributes the impact of a fall to the surrounding areas of the hip and thigh muscles, thus avoiding the hip bone.
Yes. The HTK Pad System is a Three-In-One protection system that protects the Hips, Tailbone and the Kneecaps. It is designed to give maximum disbursement of an impact to the hips, tailbone and the knees when a fall occurs, lessening the possibility of a debilitating injury.
The pad is designed to be put on in seconds. It has an easy Snap waist belt and Velcro knee wrap connections. It can also be removed in seconds.
The sizes are designed to be an average of your waist. For example, a waist of 33, 34 or 35 inches should use the 33 to 35-inch size.
