Here’s a new titanium forearm crutch from Topoma, out of Italy.

If I am doing the money conversions correctly, it looks like these titanium crutches are selling for $510.93 US. Please let me know if you have any feedback and if this is a product that we should be carrying to supplement our custom forearm titanium crutches.

Crutch Tips

As all crutch and cane users know; the experience starts with the crutch or cane tip. If you have a cheap tip with no shock absorption, the experience is not going to e pleasant. In addition, the cheaper the tip the less the traction! For years I have used Tornado tips . There was a time when they provided the best shock absorption. I have found recently that the Aventure tips provide as much if not more shock absorption. Competition is alive and well.

We can substantially improve your experience on crutches and canes by providing you with quality crutch and cane tips that will increase your traction and provide you with increased shock absorption. We are continually adding new crutch and cane tips. If you don’t see what you need please send us an email and we will run it down for you.

Women on Crutches

Steve Mertz — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:29:33 +0000

Women on Crutches have become more prevalent. I’m not sure if I have not been paying attention or what but there certainly are more women using crutches. Women on crutches bring their special insights to the industry. For example women demand and prefer lighter weight crutches-titanium crutches are a favorite for this reason!

In addition, my women clients on crutches definitely like to see some color in their crutches. Colored crutches are one thing that both my male and female clients agree upon. Women are also very practical and like to have a carrying bag on their crutches. The bags need to be functional and good looking. To that end we will have Advantage Crutch Bags for sale very shortly.

Women also expect their hands and wrists to be comfortable when walking on crutches. I’m seeing more women buyers of The Right Grip crutch handles because of its ergonomic design. Good news-we just recently did a run of The Right Grip and made the color black and used a softer durometer to ensure that the handles are even more comfortable.

Please feel free to share any other insights you may have as a woman on crutches.

Thanks, Steve Mertz
