Revolutionary New Product Offers Relief for Crutch Users

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On any given day in the United States, more than one million people are utilizing crutches to get around, and the majority of these individuals are struggling to find ways to manipulate the crutches so they are more comfortable. Remedy Mobility Products has recently introduced a revolutionary product, Crutch Remedy^® Cushions and Hand Grips,which addresses the current design flaws of the common underarm crutch and provides relief from the pain of using crutches. Made with proprietary Remedy Foam™ material, these add-on devices were created to help provide comfort, eliminate pain and increase mobility. These advantages help patients get back to their normal lives sooner, despite being on crutches.

“Whether you’re on crutches for just a couple of days or a couple of years, we don’t want anyone using crutches to suffer for even a day”

Unlike typical hard, thin rubber pads and hand grips, Crutch Remedy has thick, plush sculptured surfaces to provide therapeutic support and increased stability while walking or climbing stairs. Created from one piece of high-resiliency viscoelastic foam, Crutch Remedy is ergonomically designed, conforming to the contours of each individual user and decreasing under arm pressure and hand/wrist pressure. The product is also latex-free and hypoallergenic. For individuals who want to add some fashion and personality to their crutches, cover sets are available in a variety of colors and designs.

“I am amazed by the number of people I see hobbling around on crutches who’ve attempted to improve the comfort of their crutches with homemade solutions such as towels wrapped around the pads,” said David Campbell, chief executive officer of Remedy Mobility Products. “The pain from a surgery or injury is enough to endure. No one should have to tolerate additional pain from using crutches that are uncomfortable.”

Campbell understands the pain associated with being on crutches and initially used dish towels on his own crutches following an injury sustained in a motorcycle accident. This experience served as the catalyst for the creation of Crutch Remedy. Working with his partner, William Hirsch, chief operating officer of Remedy Mobility Products, the two tapped into their medical device expertise and more than 35 years in the healthcare industry to develop the product.

“Whether you’re on crutches for just a couple of days or a couple of years, we don’t want anyone using crutches to suffer for even a day,” said Hirsch. “Some of our most moving customer testimonials are those from individuals who have to been on crutches for an extended length on time. They truly believe that Crutch Remedy has improved their quality of life and allowed them to get back on their feet much faster.”
