What Are Drive Medical Aluminium Underarm Crutches Made From?

The foundation of these Drive Medical Crutches is aluminium. The area that sits in the arm pit is premium-quality plastic that is lined with two soft and flexible thermoplastic rubber covers that are removeable.

The grip point at the mid-section of the crutch is also covered with a thick thermoplastic rubber layer that prevents hand fatigue and promotes a strong, continuous grip. The ferrules at the base of these crutches are made with highly dense and flexible rubber. 

Easily Adjusted in Height

For optimal sizing, the Drive Medical Adult Crutches have been designed so they're adjustable in height. The aids can be adjusted with a push pin, making it easy to alter your crutches' height. If you're looking to adjust the hand grip's height too, this can be done with a wing nut.

Comfortable Design

Both the underarm bar and the hand grip are padded to ensure you remain comfortable throughout use. These are free from latex, making them perfect for those who suffer from an allergy to the material. The pads are also highly durable, allowing you to remain comfortable whenever you use the aid.

What Size are the Ferrules?

These Aluminium Underarm Crutches are fitted with the Drive Medical 22mm Grey Rubber Ferrule for Mobility Aids. The opening of the ferrules have a 22mm diameter, while the base has a diameter of 45mm.

Great service thank you, the crutches seem to be well made and good value for money. As for enjoying using them I'm not sure, I don't think anybody really enjoys hobbling around. Although I must say they are comfortable to use.

Bought these for my son who has foot injuries. They have been a God send. My lads a big beefy boy and they are taking his weight well. The only down side is the underarm padding could be better, apart from that they are great and good value for money.

Adult Crutches Good quality but need hand adjustment.
Rating:
23 February 2021  | 

These are very good quality crutches, well made and solid. However the hand hold level is not able to be adjusted. This means its suitability depends on your arm length and height they may or may not be suitable.
I am 5'8" and my arm length is quite long (72" from hand to hand). As a result my arms are not quite in the correct position for the hand rests. I have tried adjusting the height in various ways but it isn't quite right for my arms. If a person had shorter arms it would be perfect!
