What is aluminum?

Aluminum is a very light metal that is naturally resistant to corrosion. Its structure provides excellent strength without adding unnecessary weight. This is why it is commonly used in modern walking canes, crutches and walkers.

Why is aluminum used in mobility aids?

Aluminum makes it possible to design devices that are both strong and easy to handle. For someone who relies daily on a crutch, cane or walker, every gram matters: less weight means less fatigue and a better walking experience. This material also resists impacts and outdoor use very well. At INDESmed, we offer mobility aids made 100% of aluminum for unmatched durability.

- Unmatched lightness: easy to carry, manoeuvre and use for extended periods.
- High resistance: supports weight without deforming.
- Exceptional durability: does not rust, even in humid environments.
- User comfort: allows ergonomic, adjustable and stable designs.
- Optimal versatility: ideal for modern, safe and easy-to-use mobility products.

These advantages explain why aluminium canes, crutches and walkers are often preferred to ensure safety, comfort and efficiency.
