Description
Walk Easy Model 495 — Adult Forearm Crutches, Anatomic Ergonomic Grip, Full Cuff
The Walk Easy Model 495 is the premium ergonomic choice in the Walk Easy forearm crutch lineup — featuring a specially designed anatomic grip that contours to the natural shape of the hand, distributing weight over a larger surface area to significantly reduce strain on the palm, wrist, and fingers. Also known as Lofstrand crutches, Canadian crutches, or elbow crutches, the Model 495 is the top recommendation for patients with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or any hand condition that makes standard grips uncomfortable. Available in 10 colors.
Key Features
- Anatomic ergonomic grip — left and right specific grips contoured to the natural hand position; distributes pressure over a larger surface area vs. standard cylindrical grips
- Soft, latex-free rubber grips — hypoallergenic, cushioned material for sensitive skin and extended wear
- Hand grip reflectors — enhanced visibility in low-light conditions for added safety
- 4" full cuff — maximum forearm support and stability; cuff stays on arm when grip is released
- Dual adjustability — both grip-to-floor AND grip-to-cuff are adjustable; fits users 5’0" to 6’5"
- 300 lb weight capacity — professional-grade strength
- Epoxy-coated aluminum frame — lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant
- Sold as a pair (left and right anatomic grips included)
