A product that addresses the issue of finding safe placement for crutches, for individuals aged 10-14 years old, who are on-the-move using crutches. It aims to limit any further harm for the injured person as a result of poor placement of crutches, e.g. in a classroom.

What is the issue?

As children from ages 10-14 year olds tend to be more clumsy and are not aware of their surroundings, the placement of the crutches may not be safe in terms of harming other individuals (tripping on the crutches). Being involved in such a situation for someone with a severe leg injury could aggravate their condition even further, proving to be even more harmful.

What is the product?

Easily slot in your crutches into the product and clip the bulldog clip (the ready available product) onto a chair, table, etc. This product reduces the risk of harming the individual with a leg injury as well as others. This product also finds an alternative solution of placing the forearm crutches.
