FAQs

What is the weight capacity of these crutches?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for the specific weight capacity of the Medital Elbow Crutches. This information is crucial for safe usage.

How do I determine the correct height setting?

When standing upright with the crutches by your side, the top of the handgrip should be level with your hip bone. When you grip the handles, your elbow should be slightly bent (about 15-20 degrees).

Can these crutches be used by children?

These elbow crutches are designed for adults. For children, please seek out pediatric-specific mobility aids that are properly sized for their needs.

How often should I replace the rubber tips?

The rubber tips should be replaced when they show signs of significant wear, such as becoming smooth, cracked, or losing their grip. Regular inspection is recommended, especially if used frequently on varied surfaces.

Are the padded grips replaceable?

The padded grips are integrated for durability. If they become damaged or excessively worn, it may be necessary to replace the entire crutch or consult with the manufacturer regarding repair options.

What should I do if one of the crutches is damaged?

If any part of the crutch is damaged, discontinue use immediately to avoid injury. Contact the retailer or Medital customer support to inquire about replacement parts or a warranty claim.

How do I clean the reflective cat-eye feature?

Gently wipe the reflective surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this could scratch or damage the reflective coating.

Troubleshooting

Crutches feel unstable or wobbly.

Ensure all height adjustment buttons are fully engaged and locked. Check that the rubber tips are securely fitted and not excessively worn. Verify the crutches are adjusted to the correct height for the user.

Grips are causing discomfort.

Re-adjust the height of the crutches to ensure proper posture. If discomfort persists, consider using additional grip padding (sold separately) or consulting with a healthcare professional about alternative support options.

Height adjustment mechanism is stiff or stuck.

Check for any debris obstructing the button or holes. Gently try to work the button in and out. If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance.

Rubber tips slip on smooth surfaces.

Inspect the rubber tips for signs of wear. If worn, replace them with new tips to ensure adequate traction. Ensure the surface is free from excessive moisture or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Adjust Height: Identify the push-button mechanism on the crutch shaft. Press the button and slide the inner and outer tubes to the desired height, ensuring the button clicks securely into place at each adjustment hole. Use a tape measure to confirm the correct height for your body, typically ensuring the elbow rest is comfortably below the elbow when the grip is parallel to the floor.
  2. Check Fit: Once adjusted, stand with the crutches and ensure they feel stable and comfortable. The handgrips should align with your hips.

  • Intended for use on various indoor and outdoor surfaces.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the crutches with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or grip material. Ensure the crutches are dry after cleaning.
  • Inspection: Regularly check the rubber tips for wear and tear. Replace them if they become smooth or damaged to maintain optimal traction.
  • Mechanism Check: Periodically ensure the height adjustment buttons are functioning correctly and securely locking into place.
  • Grip and Rest: Clean the padded grips and elbow rests with a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly.
