Crutches
At Red Oak Medical Supply, we understand that the right pair of crutches can significantly improve your mobility and comfort. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, our selection of medical crutches is designed to support you every step of the way.
Types of Crutches We Offer
We carry different types of lightweight crutches to match various mobility needs:
1. Underarm (Axillary) Crutches
These are the most common crutches for short-term injuries like sprains or fractures. They provide stability with padded underarm supports and comfortable hand grips to reduce strain. Option like the Standard Adult Crutches offer reliable support for various heights, while the Tall Adult Crutches accommodate taller individuals.
2. Forearm (Lofstrand) Crutches
These crutches provide long-term mobility support. Their cuffs wrap around the forearm, making it easier to distribute weight evenly. They require strong upper body strength but offer more freedom and ease of movement than underarm crutches.
3. Hands-Free Crutches
For those with below-the-knee injuries, hands-free crutches allow users to stay mobile without putting strain on their arms. Though we specialize in traditional crutches, accessories like the Vive Crutch Bag provide a convenient way to carry essentials while using crutches.
4. Pediatric & Specialty Crutches
For children or shorter individuals, we offer lightweight, adjustable pediatric crutches designed with extra padding for comfort and safety. The Alex Child Crutches are a great choice for younger users who need sturdy yet comfortable support.
