Description

Auto Glide Brakes by Carex are a thoughtful mobility accessory designed to improve control and reduce strain for walkers. Engineered to fit standard walkers with tubing diameters of 1 inch or 1-1/8 inch, these brakes complement a natural gait and provide a dependable braking solution for everyday use. The design features nylon tips that glide smoothly along the floor as you advance, minimizing snagging or resistance and helping you maintain a steady, comfortable pace until braking is needed. Activation occurs when weight is placed on the hand grips, delivering reliable deceleration and controlled stopping. This two-stage interaction supports anticipation and confident navigation in a variety of environments, from indoor hallways to outdoor paths.

Key features and benefits

  • Fit and compatibility: designed to fit walkers with 1" and 1-1/8" tubing diameters and compatible with Guardian®, Rubbermaid®, and Medical Depot® walkers.
  • Glide with ease: durable nylon tips glide along floors to reduce friction until braking is required.
  • Two-stage braking: the user experiences a progressive response as weight on the hand grips increases, culminating in controlled stopping.
  • Safe, predictable stopping: provides a consistent braking action that helps with turns, thresholds, and transitions between surfaces.
  • Effort reduction: minimizes resistance during ambulation, helping to reduce fatigue and maintain balance for users and caregivers.
  • Durable construction: built to withstand repeated use in home, clinic, and assisted living settings.
  • Stocking convenience: each case includes six pairs, supporting maintenance and replacements for households or facilities.

The brakes are designed to work as an unobtrusive upgrade to existing mobility aids, allowing residents or clients to move with greater confidence and independence. By combining compatibility across popular walker brands with a practical, straightforward design, Auto Glide Brakes provide reliable control without complicating the user’s routine. The nylon tips are engineered for longevity, ensuring repeated cycles of glide and brake in daily use.

Ideal for home care, clinics, and assisted living environments, these brakes support safe navigation through turns, over thresholds, and on uneven surfaces. Caregivers benefit from a dependable, easy-to-teach braking mechanism that can be incorporated into routine walker maintenance. With six pairs per case, facilities can maintain a ready supply for multiple residents, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent support for mobility needs.

In summary, Auto Glide Brakes by Carex offer a practical upgrade to standard walkers. They promote a smoother gait, predictable braking response, and enhanced safety, while maintaining compatibility with common walker brands and delivering durable performance across everyday settings.
