Cushioned comfort for when an extended use of crutches is required. The crutch grip covers are four inches wide and held in place by hook and loop tape. The plush machine washable Merino wool provides an extremely soft surface. Machine washable crutch covers are pure, soft lightweight lambswool crutch covers. These wool pads absorb perspiration in summer to keep you cooler. In winter, the Mediwool lambswool maintains warmth to keep you warmer. The wool, from the Merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand, is sliver-knit to a polyester backing and processed to withstand gentle machine washing. The crutch covers and pads feel like sheepskin clipped to a one inch length. Lambswool is a naturally disinfecting fiber so heat is not needed for disinfection. Lambswool resists the development of bacteria and dust mites.
