By using these pads, they can save some individuals at risk of falling from a fracture, or even prevent another operation after a hip replacement. Pelican has designed these Hip Protector Pads to absorb and redistribute the impact of a fall, especially around the Greater Trochanter area, to safeguard the bone.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Pelican Hip Protector Access Pants are modeled after our standard design, but with a large cut-out section to allow access for an incontinence pad to be worn over them. This feature allows the carer to change the incontinence pad without the need to change the Hip Protector Access Pants, thus reducing the amount of manual handling required.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnother benefit of this product is that they can be worn underneath normal underwear. If the individual wants to use the toilet, they only need to remove their normal underwear and can leave the Hip Protector Access Pants in place, especially when getting on and off the toilet, which may be a difficult transition for some people.\u003cbr\u003e\nConstruction\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Pads have a special breathable foam on the inside to make them comfortable for the person wearing them. As they can be worn 24 hours a day, it’s crucial that they remain comfortable. The foam helps keep the Pads slightly off the body, allowing air circulation between the Pad and the Hip. Additionally, the foam grips the pocket material, keeping the Pads in position.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Pelican Hip Protector Pants have two pockets sewn inside the polycotton underpants. After wearing the pants, ensure that the Hip Protector Pads are located over the Greater Trochanter. The Hip Pad pockets are big enough to move the Hip Protector Pads up or down, or side to side in the Pockets. This gives some flexibility to correctly locate the Pads over the Greater Trochanter.\u003cbr\u003e\nIf a restless person removes the Pads, they can be sewn in the pockets to keep them in the correct position. It’s best to use a ball tip sewing machine needle to avoid cutting the threads of the polycotton pants material.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt’s advisable to check periodically that the Pads are still located correctly over the Greater Trochanter.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Pelican Hip Protectors provide protection in case the wearer falls when getting out of bed at night. The Pants can be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Pay attention to the skin integrity under the Pad area. It’s recommended to have some time without wearing the Pads to allow the skin to breathe.\u003cbr\u003e\nWe offer our Hip Protectors in two ways\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the Pads separately from the Pants. The Pads generally may not need cleaning, so you can take the Pads out of a worn pair of Pants and put them in a new pair of Pants.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the Pads sewn into the Pants. When ordering from the drop-down box, select the same number of Pads and Pants.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe foam pads can be sewn in place in the pockets of the pants. Please\u003cbr\u003e\ncontact us\u003cbr\u003e\nif you require this.\u003cbr\u003e\nHip Protector Pad Options\u003cbr\u003e\nSuperSoft Washable Pads (Item # 179SSW)\u003cbr\u003e\nThese can be left in the pants when washing them, or they can be removed and washed separately.\u003cbr\u003e\nSuperSoft Washable Pads – T5 (Item # 179SSWT5)\u003cbr\u003e\nSome older people are more fragile are less resilient to impact so their bone structure requires more protection. Similar to the SuperSoft Washable Pads. The difference is that they have a thicker internal impact reduction foam.\u003cbr\u003e\nALTERNATIVE OR RELATED PRODUCTS\u003cbr\u003e\nHip Protectors – Individual Standard Pants and\/or Pads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegistered Design IP Right Number:\u003cbr\u003e\n201611508\u003cbr\u003e\nTesting:\u003cbr\u003e\nClick\u003cbr\u003e\nhere\u003cbr\u003e\nfor information on the results from university testing.\u003cbr\u003e\nSizing:\u003cbr\u003e\nFemale Pants\u003cbr\u003e\nItem #\u003cbr\u003e\n179A-10\u003cbr\u003e\n179A-12\u003cbr\u003e\n179A-14\u003cbr\u003e\n179A-16\u003cbr\u003e\n179A-18\u003cbr\u003e\n179A-20\u003cbr\u003e\n179A-22\u003cbr\u003e\n179A-24\u003cbr\u003e\nSize\u003cbr\u003e\n10\u003cbr\u003e\n12\u003cbr\u003e\n14\u003cbr\u003e\n16\u003cbr\u003e\n18\u003cbr\u003e\n20\u003cbr\u003e\n22\u003cbr\u003e\n24\u003cbr\u003e\nWaist (cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n64cm-76cm\u003cbr\u003e\n68cm-80cm\u003cbr\u003e\n72cm-86cm\u003cbr\u003e\n78cm-88cm\u003cbr\u003e\n82cm-92cm\u003cbr\u003e\n88cm-98cm\u003cbr\u003e\n90cm-100cm\u003cbr\u003e\n94cm-104cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWaist (inches)\u003cbr\u003e\n25″-30″\u003cbr\u003e\n27″-31″\u003cbr\u003e\n28″-34″\u003cbr\u003e\n31″-35″\u003cbr\u003e\n32″-36″\u003cbr\u003e\n35″-38″\u003cbr\u003e\n35″-39″\u003cbr\u003e\n37″-41″\u003cbr\u003e\nMale Pants\u003cbr\u003e\nItem #\u003cbr\u003e\n179AS\u003cbr\u003e\n179AM\u003cbr\u003e\n179AL\u003cbr\u003e\n179AXL\u003cbr\u003e\n179AXXL\u003cbr\u003e\nSize\u003cbr\u003e\nSmall\u003cbr\u003e\nMedium\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge\u003cbr\u003e\nX Large\u003cbr\u003e\nXX Large\u003cbr\u003e\nWaist (cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n75cm-84cm\u003cbr\u003e\n80cm-90cm\u003cbr\u003e\n86cm-94cm\u003cbr\u003e\n90cm-100cm\u003cbr\u003e\n96cm-106cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWaist (inches)\u003cbr\u003e\n29″-33″\u003cbr\u003e\n31″-35″\u003cbr\u003e\n34″-37″\u003cbr\u003e\n35″-30″\u003cbr\u003e\n38″-42″\u003cbr\u003e\nNote: For people who fit into different size categories we recommend selecting the slightly looser fit.
