Cane Tip Wide Base 

It is a tip with a wide base. The base measures 12 cm. It is used for all types of canes, both wooden and aluminum. It is manufactured in black and in different sizes: 16mm and 19mm. Provides more secure support as well as allowing the cane to stand upright when not in use. These tips are reinforced with a metal washer inside the base, which prevents the cane tube from damaging or perforating its interior.

The tip is one of the most important elements of the cane. Its manufacturing material is rubber. They help the cane have more grip on the ground, making its use safer, preventing falls and other types of incidents, and providing greater balance. In addition, the ends also prevent the noise that the cane could produce when it comes into contact with the ground.

It is advisable to check the tip periodically, since it is the part of the cane that suffers the most wear. If the cane is used frequently, the base of the tip wears out and loses grip. At this point, it is advisable to change the tip so as not to lose security in the support. In the same way, it is necessary to take into account if the neck of the ferrule presents cracks and the rigidity of the material with which it is made, since if it is very rigid it can slip.

On the other hand, it is also a good idea to check if there are gaps between the tip and the tube of the cane, since the tip could come off and cause a fall. The ferrules are very easy to put on. You would simply have to lift the cane, remove the worn tip and place the new one on the end.
