Why is the unisex model designed for institutional use?
The unisex model is designed for nursing homes and assisted living facilities where a single garment style works for both male and female residents, simplifying inventory management. The thicker waistband with a name-writing area addresses the central laundry challenge — labeled garments can be sorted and returned to the correct resident after laundering.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure the hip circumference at the widest point of the hips and buttocks. The Medium Unisex model fits a hip circumference of 35 to 43 inches. Refer to the SafeHip sizing chart for the full range of available sizes.
How is the hip protector laundered in a central laundry setting?
Write the resident's name clearly in the designated area on the waistband before the garment enters the laundry cycle. Refer to the care label for specific temperature and cycle recommendations. Check the product documentation for pad removal instructions before the first wash.
Is this the same as the standard consumer model?
No. The institutional unisex model features a thicker waistband with a name-writing area specifically designed for central laundry identification in nursing home and assisted living settings. This feature distinguishes it from the standard consumer model.
