We have been introducing a new version of the tried-and-tested rubber capsules for forearm walking aids since autumn this year. The further development of the capsules brings with it some practical improvements that should offer all users even more comfort and safety.
The new version will replace the previous standard model in the colours blue, grey and black. We are currently assembling the remaining old stock. We will continue to serve all other colour requests with the tried and tested rubber capsule version.
New technical features for greater convenience
The new capsules are characterised by various technical features designed to offer more comfort in practice.
- Triple slots in the contact surface prevent the formation of a vacuum, which is particularly advantageous on smooth surfaces – and is already standard in Scandinavia.
- The diameter of the contact surface has been reduced by around 4 mm. The stability remains the same, while the weight of the capsule has been reduced by around 20 grams. This improves handling comfort.
- With an adapted degree of hardness, the capsules also fulfil all stability and durability requirements in the new dimensions.
As the changes are only minor, a new declaration of conformity is not required. The new capsules will gradually be used in our production, with the old stock being used up first.
With these adjustments, we at Ossenberg are once again ensuring that our products meet the high demands of users and offer them safety and comfort in everyday life.
