Fall Prevention in the Home with ComfiHips

As we go through our daily activities during life, there are lots of things that can cause a fall in the home:

Slippery floors, wires, books or magazines on the floor, scatter rugs, tables, chairs, etc.

These fall hazards may seem normal to have in the house but when someone is not paying attention, a dangerous fall can occur. ComfiHips® is there to protect you from that fall with our high impact absorption and comfortability, you cannot go wrong.

Visit us at www.comfihips.com for more information on how to protect your loved ones.

Light Up The House

Many people use lights that are on a switch. If we have to get up in the middle of the night for any reason, sometimes it is very difficult to find that light switch. Place night lights around the house so you are never unsure of where you are walking.

One common way people fall is because of getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, yet there are no lights on. Place night lights around the house, they produce enough light to see the floor when the main house lights are off. ComfiHips® is also there to protect you, day and night. In case you do fall, our hip protector will absorb most of the impact so hopefully you avoid a severe injury and even a hip fracture.

Balance Me or Balance Beam?

When was the last time you tried to stand on one foot for 30 seconds? It is harder than you think. As we get older our balance and stability becomes an issue due to a decrease in flexibility, muscle weakness and decreased response time which can cause a fall. ComfiHips® protects you when your balance is not as good as it used to be. Even when you are trying to strengthen your balance, there is still a high chance of falling. Wear the hip protector that is trusted by its thousands of users: ComfiHips®.

 

FHCA Gets Comfi!

Yesterday at the Nurse Leadership Conference, Sue Ann Guildermann gave an exceptional educational lecture about fall prevention. She spoke about how to determine the right hip protector to use by looking at impact studies and user compliance studies.

ComfiHips® amazed every person that came by the booth on Wednesday! Its user compliance study shows that it reduced hip fractures to less than 1/4 of 1% of 818 falls! Also an impact study showing that ComfiHips® not only is superior to the other hip protectors it was tested against it actually absorbs more impact the harder someone falls down!

Aging

As we get older, we forget to stay physically fit and our body begins to wear down. When our muscle mass and bone density decreases, we have a higher chance of falling. ComfiHips®, the newest technology in hip fracture prevention, is here to protect you in case you fall.

Our employee's along with the two inventors are committed to helping you with fall prevention and getting protected. The best thing about ComfiHips® is that people say, "I forget that I am wearing them" because our pads weigh less 25 potato chips and our undergarments are soft and comfortable.

What Causes a Fall?

As we age, our body undergoes a lot of physical changes. We think that our movement and our senses are still the same as they were when we were younger, but our body atrophies over time.

Some things that become less acute as we age are:

*Hearing

*Vision
*Reflexes to balance ourselves

The aging of these senses can lead to a fall and inevitably a hip fracture. If you have any of these problems visit us at www.comfihips.com and let us protect you in case you fall!

I am Falling for You!

According to the CDC, it was reported that 55% of falls occur in the home. This is because there are so many risk factors at our homes that we do not think about until it is too late. According to the Florida Department of Health, fall related injuries are the leading cause of emergency room visits per year in the state. ComfiHips® was designed to help prevent these injuries in case you fall. It is the newest technology in hip fracture prevention with up to 87.2% impact absorption on a lateral fall!

According to the Center for Disease Control, 1 out of every 3 people over the age of 65 will fall every year. It is now reported that a fall related injury is the NUMBER 1 reason for an emergency room visit over a car accident!! Why not protect yourself with ComfiHips®? We have the most amazing user compliance, impact absorption, and comfortable hip protector on the market.

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





Get Up and Go Test

Rein Tideiksaar designed a mobility test for people to determine if they are at risk of falling (www.seekwellness.com). It was reported that people who need to use their hands to rise from a standard sitting position have DOUBLE the chance of falling than someone who is of similar age. He recommends this test:

1.    Get up (without the use of armrests)

2.    Stand still momentarily.

3.    Walk forward 10 feet.

4.    Turn around and walk back to the chair.

5.    Sit back down.

If there are any issues with these tasks, then you are at risk of falling. Protect yourself with ComfiHips®.

We do not want people to fall; but if they do, we are here to protect their hips. ComfiHips® is revolutionizing hip protection with its high impact absorption and affordability; around the clock hip protection…comfortably! Visit us at www.comfihips.com for more information.

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 www.comfihips.com

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®!

Prescription Please

Many of the medicines we take help us with one problem but can cause others. One of the more common side effects is feeling groggy or dizzy during the day or even when we wake up during the evening for those “nightly trips” to the bathroom. This can cause a fall and possible hip fracture.

We recommend that people with these side effects wear the newest generation of hip protectors: ComfiHips®. They are made to be discretely worn during the day under your clothing and even at night while you sleep. If you fall, we want you to be able to say, “I've fallen, but I CAN get up”. ComfiHips® helps to make that possible. Visit our web site at www.comfihips.com or call toll free: 1-877-857-1110.

Out with The Old and in with The New

         There have been many hip protectors on the market. Many people are familiar with some of them, but the same problem arises with these hip protectors… “They are too big!” “They are too bulky!” “They are ugly!” But no one has said this about ComfiHips®… That’s because we have designed the ultimate hip protector with your interests in mind. It is light weight, it is not noticeable, it absorbs up to 87.2% of a lateral impact and you are wearing a normal undergarment. ComfiHips®… better than all the rest!

Balance and Stability

           As we age we forget that we need to keep ourselves in good physical condition. Have you tried to stand on one leg for 30 seconds? It is more difficult than it seems. Lack of balance is one of the major causes of falls. Always work on keeping yourself strong and balanced and protect your hips with a hip protector in case you fall.  Why not use the newest technology....ComfiHips®!

Anesthesia, Pneumonia, Pressure Ulcers, OH MY!

There are so many complications that come with a hip fracture; the side effects that come from hospitalization are ghastly. Theseare among some of the major complications that can be caused after a hip fracture:

*Anesthesia: Most surgical procedures require this. There could be problems with medical complications, drugs used, and even the anesthesia.

*Pneumonia:Bed rest increases your chance of developing pneumonia. After the hip fracture, a lot of rest is needed.

*Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores): When lying down in bed due to the hip fracture, bed sores happen due to pressure against the skin and lack of blood flow.

*Thrombophlebitis (Blood Clots): This is also caused from lying down and remaining still. They typically form on the legs where the greatest pressure is exerted from the body.

*Mental Confusion: No one likes hospitals. When someone is admitted they may experience stress, different behavior and sometimes become depressed.

What if you could avoid all of this?

There is a way to reduce the probability of experiencing a hip fracture due to a fall! ComfiHips® does that. In a 387 bed facility that started using ComfiHips® in 2009, ComfiHips® reduced their hip fractures to less than ¼ of 1% on 818 falls!
