Description

CrutchAttach is a magnetic holder for forearm (elbow) crutches. It allows users to bind both crutches into one, freeing up one hand for essential daily tasks — from holding a stair rail to grabbing a cup of coffee.
 

Born from a simple, personal need — “solving one problem, for one person” — CrutchAttach was first envisioned in response to a real challenge shared by Anton, a wounded friend who needed a way to manage both crutches while keeping one hand free.

 

That seed grew into a versatile, global solution.

1. Intuitive – Use it with a snap. The magnets connect the crutches instantly and securely.

2. Universal – Designed for both short-term recovery and long-term mobility needs. 

3. Retrofittable – Fits almost any elbow crutch with no modifications.
4. 3D Printable – Engineered for easy FDM printing at home or in any lab.
5. Simple to Assemble – Uses off-the-shelf magnets and inserts.
6. User-Tested – Developed with and for real users through over 26 iterations, across 3 years.

There are solution out in the market, CrutchAttach is the first open source, for the benefit of all needed.
