Cardinal Health Push-Button Forearm Crutches

Forearm crutches, item CA801FCH, are Cardinal Health's push-button aluminum pair. Westin Healthcare sells the pair and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. Cardinal prints a 250 lb (113 kg) rating and a push-button range of 29 to 38 inches (74 to 97 cm).

This is a forearm pair, not an underarm pair. A cuff sits around the forearm. There is no underarm pad. CA801FCH is the Cardinal Health catalog number. It is not Drive 10403, not Medline, and not Hugo. Cardinal does not print a user-height window on the CA801FCH card.

Who these crutches are for

Cardinal files CA801FCH as forearm crutches: aluminum, push-button, 29 to 38 inches, 250 lb, latex free. Families here usually call when a person already uses a forearm cuff, or when a clinician has named forearm crutches, and they want the height set in Brampton or the GTA.

Cardinal does not tell a reader to pick forearm crutches over an underarm pair or a knee walker. Westin does not give medical advice. If you want an underarm pad instead, see the Hugo Comfort Max Tall Adult Aluminum Crutches or the Medline Basic Adult Aluminum Crutches.

• A forearm pair with Cardinal's 250 lb (113 kg) rating
• Push-button height 29 to 38 inches (74 to 97 cm)
• Aluminum, latex free, no underarm pad

Fit and height

Cardinal prints a push-button adjustment of 29 to 38 inches (74 to 97 cm) on CA801FCH. That is the only height window on the card. Cardinal does not print a user-height chart. We will not invent one.

Come into a Brampton or Toronto store with everyday shoes and we will set both sticks inside that 29 to 38 inch range. Stay at or under 250 lb (113 kg).

Frame, cuff, and tips

The frame is aluminum. The style is forearm: a cuff around the forearm and a hand grip, not a pad in the armpit. Cardinal lists the pair as latex free. Cuff diameter, tip diameter, and unit weight are not on the CA801FCH card.

Drive RTL10453 grips and RTL10446 cushions name Drive 10400 underarm frames. They are not forearm parts and they do not name CA801FCH.

Weight and portability

Cardinal does not print a unit weight on the CA801FCH card. The pair is a walking-aid carton. We bring it in and set the push-button height if you want setup in Brampton or the GTA.

Cardinal Health Forearm Crutches specifications

These figures are for Cardinal Health item CA801FCH as printed on the current distributor card. The specification tab holds the stored values.

Forearm pair. Aluminum. Push-button 29 to 38 inches (74 to 97 cm). Weight capacity 250 lb (113 kg). Latex free. Cardinal does not print a user-height window, a unit weight, or a warranty term on that card. Distributor catalogs also list a 10-pair case; Westin stages the pair.

Underarm crutches or forearm crutches

Forearm crutches, also called elbow crutches, use a cuff around the forearm and a hand grip. Underarm crutches, also called axillary crutches, use a pad at the top of a taller post. Cardinal CA801FCH is the forearm pair in this wave. Hugo 721-780, AMG 720-791, EZee Life CH2029, and Medline MDS51514-10 are underarm pairs.

Cardinal does not tell a reader which class a clinician would choose. Westin does not give medical advice. If you want the tall underarm Hugo pair, see Hugo Comfort Max Tall Adult Aluminum Crutches. If a knee pad is a better shape than either crutch, see the Mobb Knee Walker.

Funding help for a cane or crutches in Ontario

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not fund standard canes or crutches, so plan around other routes. Funding that may help instead: March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), extended health plans, and community programs. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through before you buy.
