FHCA and ComfiHips

The FHCA had its annual conference this past Monday and Tuesday (8/5 - 8/6) and it was a great opportunity for vendors to display their new products! ComfiHips® was close to center stage and impressed a lot of people there.

When attendee's came to our booth, they realized ComfiHips® is here to save lives. Its patented design provided undeniable impact absorption and the undergarments gave unquestionable comfort.

ComfiHips® is taking over the fall prevention market!

AOTA GETS COMFI!

Last week April 25 - 27, ComfiHips® was again featured as the only hip protector at the American Occupational Therapist Association Conference. We were teaching new Occupational Therapists about fall prevention and why it is so important for our seniors to wear ComfiHips® - the hip fraction prevention product.

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.

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

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!

Hip Fracture Awareness

Do you know that up to 25% of people die within the first year after a hip fracture?

Do you know that someone turns 65 years of age every 8 seconds in the U.S.?

Do you know that 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 will fall every year?

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

There are so many reasons why people fall: slippery floors, walking with socks, vision issues, balance issues, osteoporosis, mobility issues, lack of concentration........and the list goes on and on.

Hip fracture prevention has been around for years but the most innovative and revolutionary hip protector that is taking the fall prevention market by storm is here:

ComfiHips®

Our WOW factor?

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

People say that ComfiHips® are so comfortable, they forget they are even wearing them.

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!

ComfiHips®: One "Hip" Blog

ComfiHips® is a hip protector designed to give around the clock protection for those who are at risk of falling. The pads are amazingly lightweight-each pad actually weighs less than a small bag of potato chips (about 25 chips). The pads are designed to fit easily into concealed interior pockets of their specially designed, ultra-soft undergarments. People can barely tell that you're wearing them!

We want to do our part by reducing hip fractures and saving lives. It is important for us to educate people about fall prevention.

We created ComfiHips® from the heart, and your loved loves will be protected 24/7.
