Introducing the Tango Belt: A Breakthrough in Fall Injury Prevention
ActiveProtective® has recently made a significant advancement in health technology with the launch of the Tango® Belt, an FDA-authorized medical device designed specifically to mitigate the severity of fall-related injuries among older adults. This innovative product is not just a device—it's a lifesaver in disguise.
How Does It Work?
The Tango Belt utilizes cutting-edge motion-sensing technology to detect when a fall is occurring. Within milliseconds of detection, the belt deploys an airbag that cushions the hips, significantly reducing the impact and potential injuries, namely hip fractures, which are among the most common injuries in the elderly population.
With comfort and daily wear in mind, the Tango Belt is prescribed strictly for older adults who wish to maintain their independence while feeling safe. The belt is also compatible with a mobile app, which notifies designated contacts immediately upon a fall detection—providing peace of mind to both the wearer and their family members.
Clinical Evidence
A multicenter premarket clinical study showcased the effectiveness of the Tango Belt, revealing that it led to a remarkable 91% reduction in fall-induced hip fractures among at-risk individuals when used in conjunction with standard care practices. This data underscores the belt's potential to shift paradigms in how fall injuries are managed.
Wamis Singhatat, CEO of ActiveProtective, emphasizes that this launch is more than just a product; it represents a crucial step towards a future in which fall injuries can be actively prevented rather than merely anticipated. He states, “This launch marks a pivotal advancement for those seeking evidence-based solutions that go beyond fall prevention to actively reduce fall injuries in older adults.”
Looking Forward
ActiveProtective is committed to expanding the availability of the Tango Belt in the coming months, targeting senior living facilities, healthcare systems, and value-based care providers. They are particularly eager to collaborate with organizations that prioritize proactive healthcare measures, reducing the prevalence of costly injuries through preemptive interventions.
In addition to the device, ActiveProtective is dedicated to ensuring that users receive comprehensive onboarding and support, helping them maximize the benefits of their new safety equipment.
