Tornado AIR/Rain Fatigue-Reducing Wet-Slip Resistant Crutch Tips (pair)
We have joined our super lightweight, latex-free AIR TIP bonded to our proprietary, highly wet-slip-resistant RAIN DISK tread piece. Their wet-slip resistance is unequaled, offering over 300% more wet traction than any competitors' crutch tips we've tested. Tornado Air/Rain tips will significantly reduce the number of crutch-related falls caused when walking on wet, smooth surfaces.
Caution: They are NOT slip-proof!
If they keep you from falling just once, wouldn't they be worth it?
Our ever-popular Tornado Tips RT weigh-in at 4.8 ounces each as compared to a Tornado AIR/Rain Tips that weighs just 2.4 ounces… half the weight! All this accomplished without diminishing the crucial shock-dampening feature that protects our hands and shoulders over the long-haul.
Embedded inside my Tornado AIR/Rain Tips is a sizeable perforated steel disk that is mechanically bonded to the surrounding envelop. The disk will support significant crutch loads and flex without ejecting the disk, making it last longer than ordinary store-bought crutch tips.
Independently-tested to reduce shock and exceed the cited wet-surface traction safety threshold in laboratory testing.
The Tornado AIR/Rain crutch tip has been independently tested at the University of South Carolina’s Mechanical Engineering Department — and the results are definitive.
Tornado AIR/Rain delivered a 50%+ improvement in shock absorption over standard rubber tips.
In wet-slip resistance testing, it achieved a Coefficient of Friction of 0.47–0.52 — out of a maximum 0.6 — consistently exceeding the 0.40 threshold safety researchers recognize as the minimum for safe ambulation.
These results make Tornado AIR/Rain simply the best crutch tips for long-term crutch users.
Fits crutch shafts from 3/4” to 7/8”
