Ossenberg Classic Forearm Crutches (Open Cuff, Anatomic Soft Grip)
The Ossenberg Classic is a German engineered forearm crutch built from lightweight aluminum, designed for comfortable everyday walking support. The open arm cuff and anatomic soft grip work together to spread pressure across the forearm and hand, so longer walks feel steadier and easier on the wrists. Sold as a pair.
Ossenberg has manufactured walking aids in Germany for decades, and the Classic is their most popular everyday forearm crutch. It is a refined, lighter alternative to bulky steel crutches, and it is now available in Canada through Care Made.
What Makes the Ossenberg Classic Different
Most forearm crutches sold in Canada are heavy steel with plain vinyl grips. The Classic uses a light aluminum tube, a left and right specific anatomic soft grip, and a glass fibre reinforced arm cuff that flexes with you instead of digging in. Built in reflectors add visibility for evening walks.
Key Features
- Lightweight aluminum frame, far lighter than steel forearm crutches for all day comfort
- Anatomic soft grip, left and right specific, that cushions the palm and reduces wrist strain
- Open arm cuff in glass fibre reinforced plastic, easy to slip in and out of
- 9 position push button height adjustment for a precise, personal fit
- Natural rubber tips with steel inlay for a confident grip on the floor
- Built in reflectors for added visibility outdoors
- Weight capacity up to 310 lb (140 kg)
- Available in black or red
- Sold as a pair
Who Is It For?
- Long term forearm crutch users who want a lighter, more comfortable daily crutch
- Anyone moving up from heavy steel crutches that tire the hands and wrists
- People who want a discreet, good looking walking aid with a colour choice
- Active users who walk outdoors and value the built in reflectors
Choosing Forearm Crutches in Canada
Forearm crutches, also called Lofstrand or elbow crutches, are the preferred choice for long term use because the cuff lets you free your hands without dropping the crutch, and they keep weight off the underarms. If you need a higher weight capacity, see the heavy duty Ossenberg BIG XL. Browse more options in our canes and crutches collection.
Final Thoughts
When you are on crutches for the long haul, the small details matter every single day. The Ossenberg Classic brings German build quality, a genuinely comfortable grip, and a light frame to a category that has not changed much in Canada. Care Made ships it across the country.
