Thomas Fetterman Tornado Rain Crutch Tips, Fits Crutch Shafts of 3/4 to 1 Inch, Black, Pair: Thomas Fetterman Tornado RT (Rain Tips) gel filled Rain Tips give you the same shock absorbing qualities, superior flexibility, better ground contact and longer wear as our original Tornado Gel Crutch Tips with improved slip-resistance. Tornado Rain Crutch Tips have a thick shock absorbing Absorbalite gel core in our Tornado gel tips plus our proprietary slip resistant rain disk tread piece making them over 300% more wet-slip resistant than any rubber tip we have tested. They have excellent traction on dry surfaces as well. While not slip-proof, Tornado Rain Tips can greatly reduce the number and severity of crutch related falls caused by wet smooth surfaces. If they keep you from falling just once a year, wouldn’t they be worth the extra cost? Personally, I won’t leave home without them! Tornado Rain Tips have a 2″ base diameter and weigh 4.6 ounces each. They fit crutch shafts from 3/4″ to 1″. Black with gray tread. Sold as a pair.
About Us:
Thomas Fetterman has been using crutches since he contracted polio in 1953. As an adult, the shoulder pain and increasing slips and falls caused by his crutches led Thomas to set out to build a better solution. He created and patented a shock-absorbing crutch tip that absorbs 80% of negative ground impact force and lasts 3-5 times longer than ordinary tips. And that was just the start. Thirty years later, the company offers a full line of tips, forearm crutches, canes, and grips. All products are made in the USA using top quality components. With over 1,000,000 products sold, customers agree that we manufacture the most technically advanced, handsome, and durable products available. In fact, just about everyone who has tried them has become a dedicated customer. Why not experience the difference for yourself?
