Fetterman Ice Grip Tips for Crutches
Fetterman Ice Tip "pullovers" provide enhanced safety protection from slipping and falling on icy surfaces. They work well in light snow but in deeper snow they will pull into the disengaged position. Like all assistive technology, it is impossible to make one product that will work well for everyone in all weather conditions.I invented Fetterman Ice Tips because I couldn't leave my house one icy winter. Fetterman Ice Tips socket over the ends of most cane and crutch tips. They work on the same principal as studded snow tires. Your safety is greatly enhanced when used in conjunction with the SpikyPlus footwear system that pullover shoes and boots. Fetterman Ice Tips come in three sizes so be sure you know the base diameter of your crutch or cane tip. To engage them just grab the red cup and pull it over the bottom of you crutch tip. They are easily disengaged by pushing one tip against the other and they pop up and rest alongside the crutch tip.The spikes are small but tough and durable so you can walk on cement sidewalks without hurting them.Wearing them indoors will damage floors.Search "Fetterman" in Amazon to see more of our quality crutch and cane accessories.
