Description
The BIOS Living J-handle cane, item 56013, is a black single-tip cane with a foam grip.
What does it do and how does it work?
The J shape hangs on a forearm or a coat hook, so you can free a hand without dropping the cane.
- The foam grip is cushioned, which takes some stress off the wrist and hand.
- The shaft is aluminium. Height moves from 33 to 37 in (84 to 94 cm) on a push button.
- Each step is 1 in (2.5 cm). The limit is 300 lb (136 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits someone who wants light support on one side and a cane that can hang up.
- If your wrist sits below 33 in (84 cm) or above 37 in (94 cm), this range will not reach.
- A single tip does not stand up when you let go.
- If you need support on both sides, look at a walker or a rollator.
Will it fit?
Let your hands hang at your sides. A bend at the elbow is expected.
- Press the button and choose the hole that puts the handle at wrist level, with your arm at your side.
- A second person may be needed for that check.
Using it day to day
Hang the J on your forearm, a chair, or a hook when you need both hands.
- The cane will fall if you lean it on nothing.
- A spare tip, and the ice-pick attachment, are separate items.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
This order is the cane only. The warranty is 1 year.
- One tip means you hang the cane up. It does not stand on its own.
- The ice pick is a separate attachment, and it is not in this box.
Which version should I choose?
Stay with item 56013 when you want this cane in black.
- Silver item 56014 and copper item 56012 are the other colours of this J-handle.
How does it compare?
A longer range, a different grip, or four tips means a different cane.
- BIOS offset cane, coffee: handle height 31 to 39 in (79 to 99 cm), same 300 lb (136 kg) limit.
- BIOS orthopedic cane: an angled grip, limited to 265 lb (120 kg).
- BIOS quad cane: a four-point base, handle 29 to 38 in (74 to 97 cm).
