Flexyfoot Standard Soft Grip Handle Closed Cuff Crutch

If you’ve suffered a lower limb injury, crutches can be an invaluable aid to your recovery, bearing your weight and allowing you to maintain mobility as your injuries heal. However, standard crutch ferrules (the cap at the bottom of the crutch) are prone to transmitting the shock generated when they make contact with the floor, causing pain and discomfort in the upper limbs. It can also be dangerous to walk on rough terrain with standard crutches, as the ferrules fail to provide proper grip. 

Coming fitted with the Flexyfoot ferrule, the Flexyfoot Standard Soft Grip Handle Closed Cuff Crutch has been specially developed to provide a solution for these problems. This product is designed to significantly alleviate the pain and discomfort that is associated with extended periods of crutch use.

Shock Absorption

Traditional ferrules (the caps on the bottom of crutches) do not absorb the shock which is generated every time the crutch touches the ground, which then travels through the hand and arm, leading to fatigue and discomfort. The Flexyfoot ferrule’s uniquely designed bellows absorb shock, which in turn can help relieve this pain.

This shock absorption is ideal for people that are suffering from elbow and shoulder pain as a result of using crutches or other walking aids. The Flexyfoot features two parts: a collar and a pleated bellows. The bellows act like a spring to absorb shock, meaning less is transferred to your body compared to traditional rubber ferrules.

Perfect for Rough Terrain

Because the bellows make the ferrule flexible, the Flexyfoot will stay in contact with the ground even over rough terrain, helping to provide greater grip. This can help make you feel more comfortable and secure and allow you to be more active when wearing your crutches.
