Designed and Tested by the Experts
ComfiHips® Hip Protectors were designed in conjuction with the Department of Physiology and Kinesiology at the University of Florida,
using the most advanced technological materials and testing methods. In clinical studies1 conducted at the University, approximately
20,000 Newtons (about 4,496 pound-force) were applied to the pads. The results proved that ComfiHips® pads were able
to reduce impact to below the hip fracture threshold2 up to 87.2% for most lateral falls .
1Data on file.
2Studies have shown that a person falling on their hips is hit with between 5,000 and 26,000 Newtons of
force and that it takes 4113 +/- 1527 Newtons to fracture the hip bone.
