Description
The BIOS Living Quad Cane, item BD740, is a four-point cane on a K style base. The offset foam grip sits over an aluminum shaft, and the four feet spread the load.
What does it do, and how is it built?
- Four slip-resistant rubber-tipped feet sit on a K style base with a footprint of 8 1/8 by 6 1/8 in (20.6 by 15.6 cm).
- The offset handle carries a foam grip.
- A push button sets the height in 1 in (2.5 cm) steps.
- A cane strap is included.
- The aluminum cane carries up to 300 lb (136 kg) and has a 1 year warranty.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits someone who wants a steadier base than a single-point cane gives.
- The wider base needs more floor room than a single tip, so check your walking space.
- If you tire while standing, a rollator with a seat suits better.
Will it fit?
The handle adjusts from 29 to 38 in (74 to 97 cm) in 1 in (2.5 cm) steps.
- Set the handle at wrist level with your arm hanging at your side.
- For mobility use, have the cane sized by a health care professional.
- Ask us which finish is in stock.
Using it day to day
- Set the height with the push button; no tools are needed.
- Wipe the shaft and foam grip with a damp cloth.
- Check the four rubber feet and replace a tip when the rubber is smooth or cracked.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- One cane and its strap are one order; replacement tips are sold separately.
- It is a walking aid for balance on level ground indoors or a paved path.
How does it compare?
- Canes and accessories covers tips and holders.
- Walking aids shows the canes, walkers and knee walkers we sell.
- Drive large base quad cane is a fixed-base alternative.
