The Vissco 0905S Astra Under Arm Crutches are adjustable mobility aids designed to provide additional support during walking when a user has reduced lower-limb mobility or requires temporary assistance during rehabilitation. The product is an underarm or axillary crutch, making it different from forearm or elbow crutches. Vissco offers the Astra in multiple sizes, with 0905S being the Small variant.
The 0905S uses a lightweight aluminium construction with cushioned underarm padding, an anatomical palm grip and a skid-resistant rubber shoe. The height is adjusted through a push-button mechanism, allowing the crutch to be fitted according to the user's requirements.
According to Vissco's product catalogue, the 0905S has a height range of 100–119 cm and supports up to 100 kg. The listed net weight for the pair is 2.380 kg.
