Plum Beginnings

“What is more mortifying than to feel you’ve missed the plum for want of courage to shake the tree?”
--Logan Pearsall Smith

Janice Carrington pioneered falls safety when she founded Plum Enterprises in 1983 researching falls and head injury among very young children. After years of research, development, testing and fine-tuning, Carrington invented ProtectaCap®, the patented custom-fitting protective headgear for toddlers, the age group at high risk for falls and head injuries.

ProtectaCap® now protects individuals of all ages with many applications from infants post-surgery to our veterans.

In 1993, Carrington developed ProtectaHip®, the original hip protector, after pioneering awareness and research in the incidence, morbidity and mortality of the hip fracture epidemic among aging adults. ProtectaHip® was recognized with the American Society on Aging Award in 2000.
