Ice Grip Cane
62
safety attachment for canes
The past winter has been particularly brutal. Record snow fall, while beautiful to look at, presents a lot of challenges. If you are driving to work the roads can be treacherous and the school bus rides, if the school isn’t closed due to snow, can be rough. It is tough going for anyone especially for the elderly or those with mobility issues. No matter how often sidewalks are cleaned off it doesn’t take long for them to become slick again. Falling down on ice or snow can be dangerous for anyone but for older folks a fall can be particularly bad leading to broken bones and long recover times.
Mabis has an Ice Grip Cane/Clutch Attachment for canes that helps maintain traction on snow or ice.
