Detects a fall in progress
Advanced 3-D motion sensors allow Tango Belt’s built-in algorithms to recognize a fall in progress. These algorithms are specifically calibrated such that only serious falls trigger airbag deployment.
Deploys the airbag
Once triggered, the airbag deploys around the hips in less than 90 milliseconds to reduce the impact forces that could otherwise result in major hip injury.
Reduces risk of major hip injury
Tango Belt addresses the risk of hip fracture or hip dislocation during a fall. It does not treat the underlying bone loss condition, stop a fall or eliminate risk of injury.
Tango Belt with the Companion Mobile App
Tango Belt pairs a single-use airbag with a reusable belt component. Our belt is designed for a three-year service life. If the airbag deploys, you return the entire system to us and we will send you a replacement by express delivery.
When configured through the Companion Mobile App and connected to WiFi, Tango Belt sends a notification to designated contacts in the event of a fall or by pressing the call button. Notifications are separate from the system’s treatment function and do not impact use.
Tango Belt is an FDA-authorized prescription medical device clinically-proven to reduce major hip injury due to falls. For older adults with a diagnosed bone loss condition or prior fragility fracture and a documented history of falls that puts them at high risk of major hip injury. (DEN240021).

The number needed to treat (NNT) calculated for the avoidance of a major hip injury due to serious impacting fall with use of the Tango Belt was 5.

Stay informed with periodic Tango Belt updates
The Tango Belt is indicated as an adjunctive to standard-of-care to reduce the risk of hip fracture or hip dislocation due to falls in older adults at risk of major hip injury due to falls. It is for prescription use only.
