The Vissco 0904Q Astra Max Elbow Quadripod Base Crutch is a forearm mobility aid designed for individuals who need additional support while walking. Its elbow/forearm configuration provides support through the forearm and hand, while the quadripod-style base provides multiple points of contact with the walking surface.

The Astra Max design is suitable for customers looking for an elbow crutch with a wider multi-point base rather than a conventional single-tip forearm crutch. This can make it a useful option for appropriate users who require additional support during daily mobility, rehabilitation or recovery.

As with any mobility aid, correct height adjustment, appropriate walking technique and proper fitting are important. Users recovering from surgery, fractures or other conditions affecting mobility should use the crutch according to the advice of their doctor or physiotherapist.

 Why Choose This Product?

Quadripod Base Design

The four-point base provides multiple ground-contact points, offering a broader support footprint than a conventional single-tip elbow crutch.

It can be considered for appropriate users who require walking assistance during rehabilitation, injury recovery or daily mobility.
