The importance of head protection

Healthcare professionals support patients who are at higher risk of falls and head injuries due to neurological conditions, mobility issues, or recovery from surgery or injury.

Even routine movements during care, therapy, or daily activities can lead to incidents that affect patient safety, recovery progress, and independence.

This infographic highlights these risks, key fall and head injury statistics, and how solutions like Ribcap can help reduce them in clinical and home care settings.

Protection designed around the patient

The Ribcap helmet provides discreet head protection for everyday use without looking bulky.

It is designed for patients across all ages who are at increased risk of falling due to balance issues, neurological conditions, or recovery from injury or surgery. The shock-absorbing foam helps reduce the impact of a fall.

The lightweight, comfortable helmet can be worn during daily care, therapy, and routine activities. This helps healthcare professionals enhance patient safety while giving patients more confidence and reassurance to remain as independent as possible.

WHERE CAN RIBCAP BE USED?

Suitable care environments

Our protective helmets are used across a wide range of healthcare settings, supporting both professionals and patients in daily care and recovery.

Hospitals

Patients with neurological conditions often face a higher risk of falls and head injuries.

Ribcap can be prescribed as a protective measure during this vulnerable period, reducing injury risk without restricting movement or patient dignity.

Rehabilitation

Confidence and safe movement are central to successful therapy.

Ribcap allows patients to participate more actively in rehabilitation, reducing fear of injury during exercises and transitions.

Home Care

For patients receiving care at home, continuous protection during daily routines is essential.

Ribcap supports safe, independent movement in a familiar environment, reducing injury risk without making patients feel restricted.

Institutions

Residents with reduced mobility, cognitive impairment, or chronic fall risk benefit from continuous, comfortable protection.

Ribcap is designed for all-day wear without causing discomfort or affecting freedom of movement.

"I have worked with a variety of clients with neurological conditions who require head protection. The options they had were less than desirable and produced very little follow-through. Ribcap has provided an incredibly well-designed solution that provides safety and maintains dignity! The focus on high-quality material and appealing design for all ages really set this company apart. My only wish is that I had known about them sooner!"

Lindsay DeLong | Occupational Therapist at EquipMeOT.com

"Ribcap is an amazing technology that revolutionizes how we approach injury prevention from falls. In the past other devices, helmets, hats, and caps have been designed without thought to how they make the wearer look. Ribcap has changed that by pairing innovative, evidence-based technology for injury prevention with attractive styles that encourage people to wear them without embarrassment or dread. As a clinician and scientist focused on falls and injury prevention, I fully support the use of Ribcap for anybody at risk of falling for any reason."

Dr. Amy Hester | CEO HD Nursing

"All rehabilitation nurses know the importance of wearing head protection for people with higher fall risk. Thank you Ribcap, for all you do to prevent fall-related head trauma and head injuries through your Ribcap products. You are saving lives."

Dr. Patricia Quigley | PhD, MPH, APRN, CRRN, FAAN, FAANP, Nurse Consultant

"Dedicating my career to children and adults who are at high risk of falls, I highly recommend Ribcap to my colleagues and clients. The products offer a high level of protection, while allowing choice and style. Something that is very rare in the market, and yet is so important to those who rely on these products in their every day life. I have found that it provides individuals the confidence to carry out daily activities independently and safely and be able to feel comfortable around others."

Danielle Base | Special Occupational Therapist and Moving & Handling Practitioner

"It is no secret that head injuries are a public challenge and occur daily! One of my passions as a therapist is to provide tools and resources to those I come in contact in ways they integrate prevention into their daily life practice. I love the concept and I am amazed by the designs. The Ribcap colors are beautiful and I am awed by the quality of the materials."
