When it may not be suitable

This rubber tip is specifically designed for tubes with a 16 mm diameter. It will not fit canes or crutches with different tube sizes, as a loose fit can compromise safety and stability. It is also not intended for use on extremely icy or oily surfaces where specialized ice grips or heavy-duty traction devices might be required.

How to use

To install the rubber tip, first remove the old or worn-out tip from the bottom of your crutch or cane. Ensure the end of the tube is clean and free of debris. Firmly push the new Kid-man 716sw rubber tip onto the tube until it is fully seated. You may need to apply a slight twisting motion to ensure a snug and secure fit. Before putting your full weight on the device, test the stability of the tip on a flat surface to ensure it is properly attached.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact tube diameter of your crutch or cane is 16 mm
• Check the current tip for signs of wear to determine if a replacement is necessary
• Ensure the surface of your mobility aid is clean before installation

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the rubber tip for signs of wear or thinning at the base. Replace the tip immediately if the rubber shows cracks or if the metal reinforcement becomes exposed to maintain optimal safety and prevent slipping.
