Medline Basic Adult Aluminum Crutches

Medline Basic crutches, item MDS51514-10, are Medline's adult underarm pair. Westin Healthcare sells the pair and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. Medline prints a 250 lb (113 kg) rating and an adjustable range of 44.5 to 52.5 inches (113 to 133 cm).

This is a pair, not a single stick. Medline catalogues MDS51514-10 as the adult Basic, 10 pair per case. Westin stages the pair. It is not Medline's tall or youth Basic, and it is not a 300 lb Medline Standard card. Medline.com currently marks MDS51514-10 discontinued with stock. We match the carton before we ship.

Who these crutches are for

Medline writes the Basic line for the value-conscious healthcare setting. The adult card fits a patient height of 5 ft 1 in to 5 ft 9 in (155 to 175 cm) with a 44.5 to 52.5 inch underarm range. Families here usually call when an adult needs a straightforward aluminum pair and wants the height set in Brampton or the GTA.

Medline does not tell a reader to pick Basic over Hugo Comfort Max or a forearm cuff. Westin does not give medical advice. If the person is 5 ft 10 in or taller, see the Hugo Comfort Max Tall Adult Aluminum Crutches. If they are under 5 ft 1 in, see the AMG Aluminum Crutches Youth.

• An adult underarm pair with Medline's 250 lb (113 kg) Basic rating
• Patient height 5 ft 1 in to 5 ft 9 in (155 to 175 cm)
• Adjustable 44.5 to 52.5 inches (113 to 133 cm), aluminum, latex free

Fit and height

Medline prints the adult Basic at 44.5 to 52.5 inches (113 to 133 cm) for patients 5 ft 1 in to 5 ft 9 in (155 to 175 cm). That is a lower capacity and a shorter adult window than Hugo Comfort Max Tall Adult (300 lb, 5 ft 10 in to 6 ft 6 in).

Come into a Brampton or Toronto store with everyday shoes and we will set both sticks inside the printed range. Medline does not print a gap-under-the-arm number on the Basic card. Stay at or under 250 lb (113 kg).

Frame, pads, and tips

The frame is aluminum. Medline lists the style as axillary (underarm) and latex free. The pair ships as underarm crutches with pads, grips, and tips on the frame.

Drive RTL10453, RTL10446, and 10439-8 name Drive 10400-series frames. They do not name MDS51514. We will not claim those Drive parts as a Medline fit.

Weight and portability

Medline does not print a unit weight on the MDS51514-10 card. The pair is a walking-aid carton. We bring it in and set the height if you want setup in Brampton or the GTA.

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.
