Adjustable forearm elbow crutch with grey plastic cuff and handle, aluminium two-part shaft and rubber non-slip ferrule

What is the Adjustable Elbow (Forearm) Crutch?

This forearm (elbow) crutch supports long-term assisted walking where elbow-level support is preferred over underarm axillary crutches. The open grey plastic cuff holds the forearm securely while the moulded handle distributes load through the hand and wrist, and the two-part aluminium shaft adjusts through a push-button pin-and-hole mechanism to suit patient height. A non-slip rubber ferrule grips indoor and outdoor surfaces. Supplied as a single crutch; pairs available on request. KRIMS Meditech Solutions Limited supplies these crutches with delivery, height-fitting demonstration and after-sales support.

What is it used for?

Assisted ambulation in physiotherapy rehabilitation, post-injury and post-operative orthopaedic care, and long-term mobility support.

Clinical and operational benefits

Forearm cuff design frees the hand for tasks while keeping support; adjustable shaft accommodates patient growth and height variation; elbow-type crutches promote more natural gait than axillary crutches.

Key features

  • Open semi-circular forearm cuff
  • moulded ergonomic handle
  • two-part adjustable aluminium shaft with pin-and-hole height settings
