Guardian Push-Button Crutches are lighter than wood crutches due to their aluminum construction and feature a double extruded, center tube that provides load-bearing strength where it is needed the most. The special foot piece utilizes durable rivets to secure the aluminum tubing from the inside (providing more stability than plastic connectors) while nonskid rubber tips provide good traction, and their long, virtually unbreakable stair deflector helps protect against the crutches slipping on stairs and helps increase stress tolerance at all angles without cracking. Moreover, the I-beam center post limits foot piece rotation to a 1.4 turn thus always keeping the push-button in view and facilitating easy adjustment while the built-in metal ring helps prevent excessive wear and ensures maximum durability.
