HurryCane, which was also acquired by Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, can be regarded as a sibling brand of Hugo Mobility.
Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare's acquisition vision remains ruthless. Not only did Hugo Mobility perform well, but according to Nielsen's latest data in 2018, HurryCane was the number one selling cane brand in North America.
The reason for the HurryCane's unique swivel base is the number one in the North American market. The legs of the crutches are the parts that are in contact with the ground and bear the load during their use, which have two functions: anti-slip and cushioning, which are crucial to the durability and comfort of the crutches.
Modeled after the human ankle, HurryCane has developed a swivel base that grips the ground firmly and rotates flexibly. The feet work in collaboration with SteadiGrip, the manufacturer of mobile phone holders, to maintain optimal 3-point contact at almost any angle for stable support. The foot pads have textured grooves on the bottom to provide non-slip traction for all-terrain activities.
The HurryCane Freedom Edition, a cane with a swivel base, was a national hit in 2011. Known as an "all-terrain walking stick", it helps the user walk smoothly on almost all surfaces. Made from aluminum alloy and weighing only 1 pound, it's one of the lightest canes available. The second-generation version currently on the market has been redesigned to be 20% lighter and 40% stronger than the old version, and folded to less than half the original length, making it ideal for carrying.
The non-folding version of the HurryCane® GO differs from it only in the handle and style. The handle of the cane is wrapped in foam for excellent cushioning and a better feel than the hard plastic grip of the HurryCane Freedom Edition. The length of the free retractable can reach 74cm and 97cm, which is suitable for people of different heights. Both canes cost the same price, at $39.95.
