Frequently Asked Questions
How do I wash my HipSaver Hip Protectors?
HipSaver Hip Protectors are designed for repeated laundering and can be washed according to CDC infection control guidelines (165°F/74°C for 25 minutes). The maximum heat tolerance is 200°F (93°C).
For best results:
- Do not use bleach.
- Remove the garment promptly from the dryer when the cycle ends.
- Lay the protective pads flat while they are still warm to help maintain their shape.
- Date the care label when the garment is first used to help track its service life.
After washing, inspect the protective pads before reuse. If a pad becomes waterlogged, cannot be reshaped, or the internal foam has folded and cannot be flattened, discontinue use and replace the garment. Pads that simply face different directions remain fully protective.
What is the HipSaver return policy?
- Please ensure the correct size and style have been selected before opening the package. For hygiene reasons, opened packages cannot be returned.
- Returns are accepted for manufacturing defects only. An RMA (Return Material Authorization) is required prior to returning the garment.
How do I choose the right HipSaver size?- Use a soft tape measure to measure the widest part of the hips and select the corresponding size.
- Proper sizing is essential to ensure the protective pads are positioned directly over the hip bones for maximum protection. Measurements should be taken by a qualified healthcare professional, such as an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist.
- The correct size and model type should be determined by a healthcare professional to ensure the hip area is properly protected and the product functions as intended.
Can HipSaver Hip Protectors be worn with incontinence products?Yes. HipSaver styles can be worn comfortably over disposable briefs or incontinence pads. Some models also feature open-bottom designs for easier toileting.
The
HipSaver QuickChange model includes a snap-down front crotch panel that allows caregivers to change incontinence pads or liners without removing the garment, making it an ideal option for long-term care and assisted living environments.
