Carex Crutch Tips Grey Pair

Why Choose Carex Gray Crutch Tips?

Worn crutch tips are a safety risk — smooth or cracked rubber reduces traction and increases the likelihood of the crutch slipping on floors, pavement, or wet surfaces. Carex Gray Crutch Tips provide a quick, cost-effective solution that restores safe, stable mobility without replacing the entire crutch. The slip-resistant tread design grips a range of indoor and outdoor surfaces reliably, while the reinforced metal insert adds structural durability that extends tip life beyond standard rubber-only designs. The universal fit accommodates most standard aluminium crutch sizes at 3/4" to 7/8" diameter, making them a practical choice for home care and clinical environments. Sold as a pair for bilateral replacement in a single purchase.

Usage & Care

Installation: Remove the existing worn tip by pulling it firmly away from the crutch base. Press the new tip firmly onto the crutch ferrule end, ensuring it seats evenly and does not rock or shift during use.

Fit Check: After installation, press down on the crutch and check that the tip remains firmly in place. Replace immediately if the tip shows any signs of loosening during use.

Walking Technique: Place the crutch tip firmly on the floor with each step and apply downward pressure through the handle. Consult a physiotherapist for correct crutch gait if needed.

Inspection: Check crutch tips regularly for cracks, uneven wear, or loss of tread depth. Replace before wear reaches the reinforced core for continued safe performance.

Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant as needed. Avoid prolonged soaking or exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade the rubber.
