Unlike a standard rubber crutch tip, our technical design and the exclusive formulation of our components offer unbeatable competitive advantages over traditional orthopedics:
1. GUMmed® Material
Generic options on the market quickly crack due to sun, oils, or temperature changes, losing their flexibility. However, our exclusive formulation based on Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer (TPU) completely outperforms traditional rubber crutch tips. This latest-generation material offers the elasticity of rubber combined with extreme resistance to abrasion, traction, and tearing, keeping its technical properties intact even at low temperatures.
2. Nylon Protective Core
A common problem with standard crutch tips is that the metallic tube of the crutch eventually punctures the rubber due to pressure, breaking the piece from the inside. To solve this, INDESmed tips integrate a nylon protective core that distributes the load efficiently. This not only multiplies the durability of the spare part during heavy daily use, but also guarantees an excellent cushioning capacity that protects your joints with every step.
3. 22° Contact Angle
Traditional alternatives only provide a good grip when supported completely vertically; as soon as the crutch tilts during a stride, the surface contact decreases drastically, increasing the risk of slips. Our exclusive design with a perimeter groove optimizes the contact angle up to 22 degrees relative to the horizontal plane. This allows the base to remain completely flat on the ground even in tilted positions, maximizing the grip surface on any terrain.
