FADONA Gets Comfi!

On April 23 and 24, ComfiHips® was featured as the only hip protector at the Florida Director of Nurses Association Conference. The two co-inventors, Iris and Martin Onrot, were doing the ComfiHip® bounce left and right to everybody at the conference!
 
 
For two days, we were educating people on fall prevention and statistics that show when people wear ComfiHips®, their chances of experiencing a hip fracture or severe injury from a fall are dramatically reduced. For more information visit us at www.comfihips.com

Why Wear A Hip Protector? Why ComfiHips®?

Falls occur for many reasons. Some risk factors include, but are not limited to: poor vision, cognitive impairment, gait/balance issues, muscular weakness, degenerative joint disease of hips/knees. So many people are at risk of falling and they do not even realize it. 

How can you help protect your loved ones when they fall and reduce the changes of a hipfracture?


Use the newest technology in hip protectors: ComfiHips®!


By using ComfiHips®, people feel comfortable because the pad weighs less than 25 potato chips, and they are highly protected because it absorbs up to 87.2% on a lateral impact! For more information visit us at

Don't Fall, but IF YOU DO... ComfiHips® is here to Protect YOU!

It is estimated that 1 out of 3 Americans over the age of 65 will fall at least once per year. On his web site, Dr. Weil suggests 5 small steps to help prevent falling:

1.    Install safety devices.

2.    Eliminate scatter rugs and floor clutter.

3.    Recover or replace slippery floor surfaces.

4.    Always have a phone nearby in case you do fall.

5.    If you have a companion animal train it to stay away when you walk.

We don’t want you falling either, that is why each set of ComfiHips® includes 2 undergarments and 2 pads. This way when one undergarment becomes unclean, you have another one to easily slip your pads into. You are always being protected when the first undergarment is being laundered.  We also sell sets of just undergarments so you have extras for the rest of the week. Our sets also include a pamphlet on “Tips for Fall Prevention.”

Protect yourself, Be yourself, Live your life with ComfiHips®!
