Why Choose Hugo Comfort Max Crutches?
The Hugo Comfort Max series is built for those who refuse to compromise on comfort during injury recovery. Traditional crutches often cause "crutch palsy" or significant discomfort due to poor padding. Hugo addresses this with contoured underarm pads that provide a wider, softer surface area, significantly reducing pressure on the brachial plexus nerves.
Stability is enhanced by the curved stair-deflector tips. These oversized rubber ferrules provide exceptional grip on a variety of surfaces—from hardwood and tile to outdoor pavement—while also offering a level of shock absorption that protects your wrists and shoulders from impact. The high-strength aluminum tubing is rated for a 300 lb weight capacity, providing a rigid and reliable feel.
Fitting these crutches is effortless. The integrated height scale eliminates the guesswork, allowing you to set the crutches to your specific height accurately. By utilizing independent push-button adjustments for the legs and wing-nut adjustments for the handgrips, you can achieve the perfect 15-degree elbow bend required for ergonomic safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are these lighter than standard wooden crutches?
Yes. The anodized aluminum construction makes Hugo crutches significantly lighter and easier to lift than wood, which reduces fatigue in the arms and shoulders during long-term use.
How do I know if the height is set correctly?
When standing upright with the crutches in place, there should be a 2-finger gap between the top of the underarm pad and your armpit. Your elbows should have a slight 15-degree bend when your hands are resting on the grips.
Can I use these on stairs?
While Hugo crutches are designed for stability, we recommend extreme caution on stairs. Always follow the "up with the good, down with the bad" rule: lead with your uninjured leg when going up and your injured leg/crutches when going down.
What is the benefit of the anodized finish?
The anodized coating prevents the aluminum from oxidizing (turning your hands gray) and provides a durable, scratch-resistant surface that stays looking new throughout your recovery.
