The mission of MEGAComfort is to provide ergonomic products which will increase employee health, safety and well-being while at the same time being an employee cost-effective initiative.
Mission Statement
• Companies must now look for any effective way to help prevent workplace injuries
• Insurance premiums and workplace compensation claims are skyrocketing due to the aging workforce and increased health care costs
Added pressure is placed on companies to seek ways to provide for a healthier and safer workplace environment as a result of increased government regulations through organizations such as O.S.H.A.
One initiative involves replacing expensive traditional rubber floor matting with proven anti-fatigue
insoles.
• All MEGAComfort Products have been ergonomically designed by Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, Dr. Kevan Orvitz
• MEGAComfort Insoles are constructed using a patent pending dual-layered memory foam technology; providing maximum shock absorption, comfort and support

MUSCLE FATIGUE STUDY
Study Purpose:To measure EMG activity of the lower leg muscles in a manufacturing environment using MEGAComfort insoles.
Type of Employee:Manufacturing employees at a large United States Toy and Games Manufacturer
Type of Work:Primary tasks involved static and dynamic standing postures for 60% – 90% of their workday
Results:The EMG study demonstrated a reduction in muscle activity for both the Tibialis Anterior and Gastrocnemius muscles groups
• MEGAComfort Insoles are the ultimate solution for employees on the move
• Or when replacement costs of existing mats have become too great
• Or for those areas that may be difficult to apply various floor mats
“We began testing the insoles as part of our Industrial Ergonomics Program We collectedpositive data and received great feedback through the C.L.U.E. surveys. We now includethem as part of our Safety Shoe Program employees will receive one pair of insoles ayear (paid for by the company).”

“We had employees from all three tours sample the mega insoles. We handed out surveys howemployees felt before they used mega insoles and another survey after two weeks. Theoutcome/results were great, employees were very happy with the insoles. Those who were complaining about back, hip and foot problems said they felt a difference by using the insoles.”
Richard R. US Post Office Union Safety Rep.
“Every department is required to have an ergonomic project submitted and completed each year. Our Medical and Safety Departments decided to try the Mega-comfort insoles in the areas where the employees were required to stand on concrete most of their shifts which sometimes lasted 12 hours. We had distributed another brand of insole earlier in the year and the employees were asked to let us know which insole they preferred. When the verdict was in, all those participating liked the Mega-comfort insoles over the other brand. We then ordered the insoles before the end of the year. By the time January came, we were getting requests for the insoles from other departments so we ordered again. The feedback was very positive. I think the requests for replacement insoles and the feedback speak highly of your product. One more thing needs to be mentioned about you and your company. I always received fast, courteous service. Whenever I had a question or called your company, I always received a quick response which is rare in these days of high tech.”
