Ossenberg Classic Soft Grip Open Cuff
Our verdict
The Ossenberg Classic weighs 650 g and takes 140 kg, but it is single adjustable with a fixed 23 cm cuff, even though its UK page talks about positioning the cuffs.
Best for: people who want to let go of a crutch quickly, or who use crutches on and off for years and like a light one.
Not for: people with long or short forearms who need the cuff moved, and anyone taller than a 96 cm handle height suits.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
The Ossenberg UK product page says the push-button lets you “tailor the height of the handles and the positioning of the cuffs to your exact requirements”. The specification on the same page says “Cuff to handle: 23cm” and “9-times height adjustment in the lower part”, and the Ossenberg instructions list the 220 Klassiker at a single “23 cm” figure. We treat the cuff as fixed.
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Crutches UK: 7 Models Checked Against Their Makers’ Documents, where it is ranked number 4. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
