Superlite Crutches come with a variety of choices because we feel it is important to accommodate a wide range of unique customer needs. Below we provide some insight and general recommendations to help you with these choices.

Color

• Anodized Black is our most popular color for a sleek look that goes with everything.
• Anodized Silver is also available. It will show less scratches.
• Desire something else? Crutches can be custom powder coated other colors for $75. Specify in the notes box and we will contact you. 

Tube Style

• Standard Bend occurs above the handle. The majority of our customers choose this style.
• Low Bend occurs below the handle. This brings the tips closer to the crutch user and increases stability. Low Bend can be advantageous for individuals with less mobility.

Grips

• Performance Grips use Absorbalite ™ gel inserts that provide a shock absorbing system.  By reducing 'crutch shock' they can improve the health of your hands, wrists, arms and shoulders. The weight-bearing surfaces of the grip stays static against your palms so skin sheer is eliminated and calluses are diminished. The easy to clean exterior of the grip is made from a tough but pliable black PVC vinyl that has a pebbled texture for secure gripping. Finger notches are sculpted into the bottom of the grip reducing the amount of strength necessary to hold the grip securely. The grips are not left and right specific.
• Right Grips are ergonomically designed and are left and right specific. Right Grips hold the wrist straight rather than having the wrist bend. For for the vast majority of users this is advantageous. Some may find the change can cause discomfort in the thumbs. We recommend Right Grips to people experiencing pain and fatigue from prolonged crutch use. These grips are not suitable for those with small hands, as they are on the large side.
• Endurance Grips are not left and right specific. They are made from durable, firm rubber and are most suitable for children and adults with small hands.
• Ergon GP1 grips are made from latex free rubber and provide optimal pressure distribution under the palms. Aluminum clmaps ensure they are secure and rotation free. The grips are left and right specific. The size small has a 92mm cross section, while the large has a 102mm cross section.

Tips

All of the tips sourced for Superlite Crutches use an Absorbalite ™ gel core that provides a shock absorbing system. They are made from high quality rubber that has superior flexibility, aggressive ground engagement, and extremely long wear.  The engineered pivoting action enables more of the bottom to engage the ground for amazing traction, even at very steep crutch angles.
