Description
The Sheepette Crutch Cover and Hand Grip Set pads the two places crutches hurt: the underarm tops and the hand grips, both wrapped in thick, plush Sheepette synthetic sheepskin. One set outfits one pair of crutches, with a cover and grip for each side.
- Underarm and Grip Padding – Covers for the crutch tops and the hand grips – both contact points cushioned in one set
- Thick Plush Sheepette – Synthetic sheepskin pile spreads pressure – less chafing in the armpit and less palm ache
- One Set, One Pair – Each set outfits one pair of crutches – sold one pair per retail pack
- Washable Synthetic Fleece – Sheepette machine washes – padding can be kept clean through weeks of daily crutch use
Padding for the Two Places Crutches Wear on the Body
Crutch soreness is predictable: the tops press into the armpits and the grips work on the palms, and after a few days both can hurt enough to change how a person walks. This set attacks both points with the same material, thick Sheepette pile that cushions the underarm pad and wraps the hand grip so weight lands on fleece instead of hard rubber and foam.
The set is sized to outfit one pair of underarm crutches, which is how it is sold, one pair per retail pack. Sheepette is Alex Orthopedic's synthetic sheepskin, plush like the bed pad line and machine washable, an important detail for padding that sits against skin and clothing all day. The set corresponds to Hermell item HMJ5017 in the manufacturer's numbering.

Why Pad the Grips as Well as the Tops
Most crutch padding stops at the underarm, but experienced users know the hands complain just as loudly by the end of the week. This set covers both contact points in matching pile, so the whole crutch interface is cushioned.
- Both Contact Points – Underarm tops and hand grips padded in one set – no separate grip purchase to chase down
- Pile, Not Thin Foam – Thick Sheepette fleece spreads load – armpits and palms both get real cushioning
- Washable for the Duration – Crutch recovery runs for weeks – machine washable padding stays hygienic the whole time
