Rubber tips are referred to as crutch and cane tips or non-slip tips. SYNTHETIC RUBBER manufactures high quality rubber tips using carefully selected rubber materials that are guaranteed to protect crutch ends as well as a secure tight fit for excellent support and cushioning.

The purpose of rubber tips is to provide traction, friction, and grip for crutches to prevent slippage or movement after a cane or crutch is placed. When a person is using a crutch, the most important aspect of it is that it provides stability such that they can easily lean on it and be assured that it will not fail. The meticulous engineering of SYNTHETIC RUBBER’S rubber tips guarantees excellent performance without any concern for falling or accidents.

Rubber tips are a standard part of all crutches, whether the crutch is underarm or forearm. In most cases, crutches are a short-term solution to help patients walk after having had some form of leg injury and must be sturdy and strong enough to offer support and stability. Walking with crutches requires twice the energy required to walk normally, which necessitates rubber tips capable of withstanding the weight and motion.

An important part of walking with crutches is balance and coordination, where the patient places the crutch and leans on it as they take a step. A rubber tip on the tip of a crutch guarantees that when the crutch is placed, it will not slip, move, or slide but will provide a solid and secure foundation to accept its weight. In essence, the complete mechanism of crutches is dependent on each component performing as required.

A properly fitted rubber tip encloses the tip of the crutch with a neck that wraps tightly around the tips to prevent it from falling off or moving. They are manufactured with rounded sides so that the user can make contact with a surface from various angles. The multiple strikes of a crutch tip place a great deal of stress and strain on their rubber material. The engineers at SYNTHETIC RUBBER use their experience in manufacturing rubber components to produce rubber tips capable of this type of constant use and friction.
