  • Padding for crutches

An armpit padding device covers the conventional armpit engaging portion of a crutch with a combined three layers of nylon fabric, foam pad, and fleece fabric. A handle padding device covers the conventional grab handle portion of a crutch with a combined three layers of nylon fabric, foam pad, and fleece fabric.
