Keep crutches and walking sticks within reach

The Elefanten products are designed for situations where users need both hands free but still want their mobility aid to remain upright, visible and easy to pick up again.

Helps prevent crutches or walking sticks from tipping over when placed against tables, chairs, beds, doors or other support points.

Hands free

Useful during ADL routines, transfers, dressing, toileting, eating, washing hands or handling personal items.

Tool-free mounting

Mounted directly to the shaft with flexible straps. The excess strap can be trimmed after fitting.

Flexible use

The hook can be rotated and adjusted for optimal positioning, depending on the mobility aid and the situation.
