When we hear the word designer linked to a product, we often think of a named label being attached to that product. The Ellipse designer crutches don't have a name-designer, but they do display the strong evidence of the thought process that has gone in to designing them!

The first thing makes that you notice design that these crutches have been designed, is the fact that they are elliptical in shape - not just the standard round pole that we may be more used to seeing.

The next thing that you notice is the coloured band around the neck of the shaft in a colour that is picked up on the handle and in the small coloured triangle at the back of the cuff.

The extra colour is not only for the sake of putting extra colour on the crutches. The coloured band is made from a non-slip material which reduces the chance of the crutch falling if you lean it against something like a table. The covering on the handle is rubber, helping these crutches to be more comfortable on your hands than the more standard plastic.With the coloured plastic triangled, the crutches and be balanced to lean against a wall.

It is the obvious thought process that has gone into designing these crutches that make them designer.

I have been using my designer crutches, in pastel pink with blue as the second colour, for 3 years now. Twice I have been tempted to try a different style of crutch, but I always come back to the designer crutches
