Forearm walking aids do not have a MHD in the true sense of the word. However, a useful life of two years should not be exceeded. Beyond this time, the further use of the forearm crutches is the responsibility of the user.
If you are an end user and have purchased your walking aid from a specialist dealer, you can also return it there and have it disposed of. Alternatively the going assistance can be disposed of over the bulky refuse or building yard.
Please ask your doctor about prescribing walking aids, as this is user-dependent and can vary.
Please clean walking aids only with a soft cloth and lukewarm water, with stronger contamination if necessary with a mild detergent. Please do not use solvent-containing cleaners, since these dissolve the coating and damage the plastic!
Walking aids may be shortened by the specialized trade. Height-adjustable walking aids can be shortened in the lower part by max. 10 cm and non-adjustable walking aids in the lower part individually by the specialized trade itself. Please note that with other changes of the going assistance by the specialized trade, the warranty obligation of our side expires.
Almost all walking aids can be shortened by us. For changes that go beyond a shortening, please let us have a completed Dimension sheet to come. We will then check a possible special design.
Based on the body height it is generally difficult to judge which grip height is the right one.
Daher ist es wichtig die genaue Griffhöhe richtig auszumessen.
Dafür stellt der Patient sich, mit normalen Straßenschuhen, aufrecht hin und lässt die Arme hängen –
das Maß, gemessen vom Handgelenk bis zum Boden, ist schließlich das auschlaggebende Maß für die Griffhöhe. Orders

Miscellaneous
If, despite the highest quality standards, a justified defect of quality should occur in our production, Ossenberg GmbH is entitled, within the framework of a 12-month warranty, to choose between repairing the defective item or replacing it with a defect-free subsequent delivery.
Ossenberg GmbH assumes the liability according to the product liability law only for the first - in - circulation - bringing our products into circulation. We only agree to a reuse if the product has been previously tested by us.
Towards our customers (=resellers/specialized trade) we take over a warranty with a period of one year. The warranty begins with the delivery of the goods and not from the sale of the goods to the end user!
Our warranty period is therefore not valid for the end user. Warranty claims cannot be asserted.
