Aircraft aluminium is a high-quality material that offers higher corrosion resistance, durability as well as high strength with low weight and is still elastic. The coloured INDESmed aluminium crutches are very light (the lightest aluminium on the market) and also robust (capable of carrying up to 140 kg of body weight. The elegant design shines in four great colours and not only makes it an attractive walking aid.
You can also choose it with foldable arm cuff, for your individual freedom.
Finally, you have both hands free while the crutch remains effortlessly attached to your arm.
The hanging arm cuff offers you a choice of two positions: open and closed, so you can stay in control. When walking with the walker, which comes in four exciting colours, we strongly recommend using the arm cuff in the open position.
The millimetre-precise adjustment of the crutches ensures a perfect fit to your body size and can thus prevent pain in the wrists, shoulders and back.
Choosing the right size and adjustment of the walking aids is done by sliding the handle and arm guide along the oval tube. There are different tube lengths to ensure optimal ergonomics for every body size.
