How does the tip attach to the cane?
57006
You pop the tip of your current cane off and push this one in its place. I will warn you, it is SOLID rubber and VERY heavy.
57007
Just insert the bottom of the cane into the hole of the tip. It's pretty easy to do.
57008
Very easy It is made of hard rubber and just have to push it on . no problem Helps keep your can at your side
57009
You pull the rubber tip off your cane and slide the quad tip on the cane. It is is very sturdy and adds minimal weight to the cane.

old tip may be glued on. Easiest way to remove is to use an Xacto knife, hobby knife or even very sharp paring knife. Starting at the thinest part of the rubber(top) slice through the rubber until you reach the wood/metal of the cane. You can then peel the rubber back or make a complete cut around the cane and remove a section at a time, depends on how strong the adhesive was. Depending on the cane material use fingernail polish remover to clean and remove off the old glue and then use GOOP or similar contact adhesive to attach the new cane tip. CAUTION: Don't cut toward you, and have cane on a towel or something to protect your cutting surface in case you slip. Make small cuts or even cut out a U in the rubber to make it easier to pry the remaining portion off the end of the cane.

Yes, the old cane tip has to be removed. If it is on too tight to pull off then you have to take a knife or box cutter and split it in half. Make sure you cut away from your body so the knife does not slip and cut you. Then you can clean off the cane where the tip was before you put on the new cane tip.

Yes, it has a rubber tip that can be replaced when it becomes worn from use which extends the life of the cane.

The tip comes ready-attached; no need to buy separately. There is a separate quadripod sold by Hugo that you can buy separately -- check it out as it might be of the size to replace a regular tip on an old cane.

That never came to my mind, but I just measured the cane itself is 3/4in. and the rubber tip is 11/2in. it is height adjustable and I really like it. I hope this answers your question.

I can not say for certain. I put this tip on a 3/4 inch cane. However, I would try it. There is a lot of flex in this tip.

My cane is metal and very top heavy so it does not stand up on its own with this cane tip BUT it is very easy to get the cane upright when it falls down. Just step on the edge of the cane tip and it pops right up. As I was having trouble picking my cane up from the floor this was a feature I needed. My cane falls over many times daily so this was a wonderful feature. This cane tip also gives more stability to your walking as it seems to work like a mini-pronged cane.

It is a bit confusing, the cane is made with two major parts, one tube inside the other. There is also a knurled lock. Loosen the lock, then press in the button and slightly twist the cane parts away from each other. Extend the cane to approximately the height you want, then jiggle the parts until the button reappears. Then re-tighten the lock. You will probably have to do it only once.

I believe cane & crutch tips are removable. Just pull the old rubber tip off and replace it with the new one. The fit is very snug, so it will be hard to put the new one on. You may want to twist & turn the old one off.

Comes with a standard small round rubber cane tip. I changed the tip to a squarish pod tip which gave me greater stability. Loved that tip, but the rubber crumbled. I replaced it with another tip made of rubber and plastic, which held up well for several months with heavy use but now the plastic has worn down on the corners and the cane can skid on wet/snowy surfaces. Either of those tips allowed the cane to stand alone. If the cane fell over, I could step lightly on an edge and pop it back upright. This cane was so helpful for pre-surgery use and recovery from my total hip surgery.

It is not a typical tip, I think. It is black "rubber", but has a small phillips screw holding it to the metal cane. The very tip of the cane's rubber tip is larger than a nickel, but then it widens out, to make a wider tip, then narrows in again, snuggly to the cane itself. A replacement tip would look different, but might work, if original ever wore out. I have not used mine enough to need to replace tip. You could take cane to store that sells tips, and eye-ball which size would be most likely a good fit?? The side support "canes" for the seat, have slanted tips, so they sit flat when the chair is opened out. When closed, those slanted tips are shorter than the main cane, so you are not walking with all the tips hitting the ground at the same time. Just the main cane is hitting the ground when you walk around. Hope this helps.

There's a vice grip in the base. It grips the end of the cane. I can't remember if a Hex Key (I think that's what it's called) came with the Quadpod but it's very simple to attach. Simply tighten the vice and you're done. It's very secure. My mom's physical therapist had never seen this and was very impressed with its stability. He liked it much better than the 4 prong base. I hope this helps!

Yes, all Essential Medical canes come with a rubber cane tip attached to the bottom. Thank you for your inquiry and please let us know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

I have purchased this quadpod to attach to my cane. It attached without a problem. It will not fit into the pouch once attached and it is not easily removed from the cane. Hope this helps you.
