Hip Fractures are the Leading Cause of Death from Falls

According to the CDC:
In the United States, the #1 reason to visit the Emergency Room is because of a fall related injury.
Up to 25% of people who fall and fracture their hip, die within the first year due to complications.

These numbers are horrific! By protecting yourself with an excellent hip protector you could be avoiding all of this...
Do you want to be one out of four people who lose their life?

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.

NADONA in Las Vegas

This past week, ComfiHips® was featured at the National Director of Nursing Conference in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada! People from all over the United States were being introduced to the newest technology in hip protectors on the market.

Iris Onrot - co-inventor of ComfiHips® and featured in the picture - explained to the Directors of Nursing along with VP's of Clinical Services at the conference, what separates ComfiHips® from all other hip protectors.

At the end of every presentation, the reaction people gave her was astounding. Not only were they impressed with our over whelming statistics, amazing user compliance, and proven high impact absorption... they could not believe she had them on and they could not see it! She said, "I wear ComfiHips® at the conference to show people how stream line the pads are in our undergarments. People do not want to wear a bulky hip protector but they want the reassurance to know they are protected in case they fall."

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®.

 

Aging Part 2

One of the main reasons a fall can occur is that our response time slows down. Remember when we used to slip on water or ice and be able to catch ourselves? As we age our body begins to break down and we don’t have the agility that we used to when we were in our 20’s. Protect yourself with ComfiHips®; it has been proven to reduce the probability of experiencing an injury from a fall.

FHCA Nurse Leadership Conference

This Wednesday, ComfiHips ® will be exhibiting at the Florida Health Care Association's Nurse Leadership Conference held at the Don Caesar Resort in St. Petersburg beach. The main speaker, Sue Ann Gilderman, will give a talk on fall prevention and why it is so important.

ComfiHips® will be the only hip protector featured at this conference. We always promote fall prevention with our product and we have the statistics to prove it! Come visit us at our booth and we will be more than happy to help protect your residents, friends and loved ones.

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!

National Falls Prevention Awareness Day

The Senate recently passed a bill declaring September 22, 2013 National Falls Prevention Day.  They want to promote and increase public awareness about how to prevent and reduce falls among older adults.

Falls are becoming so common that one out of every three adults over the age of 65 will fall each year. “Fall prevention programs are a solid investment that save people’s lives…” said Kohl, Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging.

Why not protect yourself with ComfiHips®? It was designed with an impact study by the University of Florida. ComfiHips® pads are so light weight that you forget you are wearing them over your hips! For more information on how you can protect yourself from a fall, visit us at www.comfihips.com

WHAT IS FALL PREVENTION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Do you have a loved one, parent, grandparent, resident or someone you care for who is at risk of falling?

Here are some typical causes of falls:

Slippery floors, walking with socks and slipping, vision issues, medications that makes people off balance, osteoporosis, lack of concentration, mobility issues

Many of these scenarios listed above happen on a daily basis for the average person. Most people have no issue handling them.  The focus here is with people who are at high risk of falling. As we age, our abilities to “right ourselves” when we are about to fall dissipate.

At one point or another we all fall in our life time but the complications from that fall become more severe as we get older. If someone falls and has a hip fracture, most people do not have the same quality of life afterwards; and unfortunately, up to 24% of the people with a hip fracture die within the first year, due to complications.

Hip fracture prevention with hip protectors has been around for many years but the most INNOVATIVE and REVOLUTIONARY hip protector is now here:

COMFIHIPS® is taking the hip fracture prevention market by storm!

The WOW factor:

Each pad weighs less than 25 potato chips yet absorbs up to 87.2% of the impact on a lateral fall!

We wear seat belts when riding in a car in case an accident occurs; why not wear streamline, comfortable undergarments with amazingly light pads over our hip bones in case we fall.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry!
