In short, yes. It was difficult for me to attach the cane to the belt. The suggestions from a friend were to spray Pam on the inside of the handle, wipe it with a paper towel, and then slide it on.
For the handle, it is just a foam cover. Basically, it's a foam tube that sits on the handle of the cane just pull it on and use it We cut it at a length that can fit over the handle, as otherwise it will be too long.
One teaspoon of dish soap should be put on the handle end of the cane. Spread it all the way around the handle. The grip should be slipped on and then slid back, as you turn it. You should note In order to attach the bump, the grip needs to first be attached to the cane. Although the grip appears to be smaller inside than the cane, that's fine,
It might help to wet the inside of the new tip before you use it.
Selected User Reviews For Essential Medical Supply Foam Replacement Handle for Offset Cane, Black
There is a noticeable difference between the old handle and the new A small drop of dawn and a little water allowed it to go on easily. I really enjoyed it once it had dried. It is impossible for me to go a day without using my cane. I think it's way more cost-effective than spending $20 For a new cane, you have to pay $30.
Trying water on the cane itself did not work. After part of the grip was on, the water would dry up and it would not slide. After proving unsuccessful with a bottle of baby oil, I decided to rub some oil directly My new grip was a success after 3 or 4 tries, and I am very pleased with it. There have been complaints in reviews that it is too difficult to use. When using a cane, I would caution them that this is what you desire if you wish to keep the grip firmly in place.
It is thicker and has more cushioning than the thinner, grey ones that come with the standard hospital canes. I have used a couple of different cane handles in the past, and this one was my favorite. The chances of those wearing out are higher when they compress. While these are thicker, more comfortable, and they are pretty durable, when worn out, they tend to split. Using the hand sanitizer trick mentioned in this article, I was able to get it on in a few seconds. That's great! Thanks! If I buy again, I will definitely do so.
There were two of these foam cane handles in my shopping cart. The first one was ruined by me. It was easy for me to make this mistake The water in my hand didn't move as I was sliding the handle on, and it got stuck half way. My fingers were bleeding so I cut off the end of the rope. I was able to successfully install my second computer. The following tip might be of help A wet paper towel is rubbed over the metal portion of the cane handle while it is covered with Dawn dish washing liquid. Additionally, it wasn't slippery enough, so it was needed to add a little bit of full strength Dawn to it. When it was time for the cane handle to be attached, it fit neatly. After letting the cane handle dry for two days, it was ready to use. Here we are. You've done a great job!.
By the way I used the liquid dish detergent and water method to get it on the cane, and it worked perfectly. For the last 3 years, I have had to replace this type of foam grip once or twice a year (they all split in that spot), so I am curious to see how long and how well this one will last. Will update (if I remember) when this one needs replacing.
Despite the fact that it must be soaked in soapy water to install, it is easy to do. The grips are made of good quality and we are repeat customers as we use them to grip our canes lightly. Use a small amount of soap/water to absorb the grip onto your cane. The grips will dry quickly.
This handle cover is comfortable and durable, but getting it fitted on the cane was a hassle. It was a pain to put on. There is no way to remove it from the handle.
The headline says it all. I just ordered my second one and I will get another when it sells out. It lasted for years, no complaints, you take a beating, you get dirty, they do whatever they are expected to do.
