Coopers Double Adjustable Crutches Healthcare

I purchased this brand as it was the same as my NHS pair. The handle on these is far more sturdy and comfortable than my NHS ones. Also the cuff section is height adjustable which is much better too.. I’ve been on crutches for 6 months due to ankle injury, but wished I’d purchased these sooner due to comfort of handle. Definitely recommend.

Needed an extra pair of crutches besides the ones the hospital gave me. It was good to have an extra pair at the top of the stairs, as climbing the stairs on my knees would of been more of a pain if I had to lug crutches as well! I travelled to New Zealand with these crutches and it was good that I could lower them to make them small enough to fit in the overhead compartment so they didn’t get in anyone’s way, it was also easy to pop them back into the right height position. I have now been using them for 19 weeks solid and they are still going strong. I had to use them for seven weeks in the shower, they are slippery on a wet surface so had a wet towel (dry towel was also slippery) on the floor which made them sturdy. My hospital crutches are also slippery on wet surfaces. The water hasn’t affected the appearance in any way. The handles are hard plastic unlike the rubber texture from the hospital ones, so I purchased some soft handle grips as my thumbs/hands were getting a little sore but that was at the beginning and it may have just been because I wasn’t use to using crutches. I weigh 9 1/2 stone so they have had quite a bit of pressure on them everyday as I cannot weight bear on one leg and still look and work as good as when I first received them. They arrived very quickly with instructions. I would recommend these crutches to a anyone who wanted a second pair or for sole use.

I am 6 foot one inch tall. And I found these crutches to be a tiny bit to short for me. By around a inch and a half for me to keep a good posture while using them.How ever.That's just personal nit picking.The structure is good. Nice and sturdy and extreamly light weight.And while , like I said.They were a tiny bit to small for me to keep a good posture.They provided much needed relife while I was waiting for my epidural.So anyone at a guess..... 5 foot 4 inches, to 6 foot could probably use these comfortably.I would how ever suggest investing in some better comfort hand grips for them.

I ordered the Amazon Prime option on Saturday afternoon and received my order early on Sunday afternoon - a relief as I was struggling to get around the house with a badly sprained knee.The crutches received were the Coopers model 8265c - and the additional specifications below were taken from an internet search:Cuff diameter: 95mm (3.75”)Product weight: 600g eachFerrule: Z22Maximum user weight: 180kg (28 stone)The current product description on the Amazon page gives a max user weight of 127 kg - but the label on the crutches I received does state 180kg.The cuffs were initially a bit tight on my forearms, but the plastic has flexed and loosened its grip enough to be comfortable on my arms.My immediate impression is that they are well manufactured and should have no problem living up to the manufacturers expectation of a 2 year lifespan.

For occasional use fine. But for long period use, handles very uncomfortable.Could not recommend for a long term disabled user.

First time ever with crutches so nothing to compare to but, easy to adjust, feel sturdy enough when walking, lightweight. Found the cuff fits snuggly when I had my chunky cardigan on so some people might find this tight when fully coated to go out.. all in all I would definitely recommend
