Ossenberg BIG XL Forearm Crutches (Closed Cuff, Hands-Free Hold)
The Ossenberg BIG XL is a German engineered forearm crutch built around one standout feature: a closed flip cuff that wraps your forearm. Because the cuff holds the crutch on your arm, you can let go to open a door, hold a railing, or reach for your keys, and the crutches stay with you. When you want to set them aside, the cuff flips open. Sold as a pair.
It pairs that secure, hands free hold with a cushioned anatomic soft grip and a light, strong aluminum frame, and it is now available in Canada through Care Made.
What Makes the BIG XL Different
A standard forearm crutch uses an open cuff, so the moment you relax your grip the crutch can slip off your arm. The BIG XL closed cuff stays put, which makes everyday tasks easier and gives many users more confidence. The frame is also reinforced and rated to 330 lb (150 kg), so it is reassuringly sturdy.
Key Features
- Closed flip cuff that keeps the crutch on your arm so your hands are free, then flips open to set it aside
- Anatomic soft grip, left and right specific, that cushions the palm on every step
- Light, strong aluminum frame, much lighter than a steel crutch
- Rated to 330 lb (150 kg), tested to 160 kg, for dependable everyday strength
- Wide height adjustment with secure clip locking, standard and overlength builds
- Natural rubber tips with steel inlay plus built in reflectors
- Sold as a pair
Who Is It For?
- Anyone who wants to free their hands while the crutches stay on their arms
- Daily forearm crutch users who want a more secure, confident hold than an open cuff
- People who want a light aluminum crutch with a sturdy, dependable frame
- Users who like the security of a cuff that does not slip off when they reach for something
