Skipper Axilla Crutch Black - Durable & Adjustable Mobility Aid
The Tynor Skipper Axilla Crutch (L 49) is an adjustable underarm crutch designed to help support mobility during recovery, post-operative care, or injury to the lower limbs. Made from high-grade aluminium, it is designed to be strong yet lightweight for easier handling. The contoured underarm piece and soft-padded, anatomically shaped hand grip are designed to reduce pressure during extended use, while the high-wear pods and flexible tip are designed to help absorb impact and provide a steady ground grip. Height adjusts in 1-inch increments to suit users from 142.2 cm to 190.5 cm. Supplied by Australian Healthcare Supplies, a registered NDIS provider based in Perth, Western Australia.
