ABSTRACT:
A protector to prevent hip fracture and/or bed-sores and/or protect a wound or wound area is formed from an outer load bearing member reinforced by internal ridges. The protector is dome shaped with structured ridges to form an internal dome or clearance for the region of desired protection. A soft inner sheet is attached for comfort. This structure has less bulk and weight than a solid pad. The outer shell formation distributes the load or pressure to the edges of the device, protecting the organ covered by the dome. The pad may have different internal ridge patterns to provide flexibility for user comfort.
