Ideal For

Individuals using a wheeled walker who need replacement rear glides that provide smooth floor contact and improved stability compared to worn or standard single-contact glides will find the Carex Walker Glides a three-point contact option in 1-1/8 inch tubing size. Users whose existing rear glides have worn down and are causing the walker to catch or drag on indoor flooring will find the three-point contact design practical for restoring smooth operation. Physical therapists and home health aides who maintain walkers for patients will find the three-point contact design useful for extending the service life of the glides and reducing the frequency of replacement. DME providers and medical supply retailers that stock Carex walker accessories will find the RA836 a consistently available pair of 1-1/8 inch walker glides.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the three-point contact design?
The three-point contact design distributes the glide's contact with the floor across three points rather than one, which improves stability during use and reduces uneven wear on the glide surface, resulting in longer service life compared to standard single-contact glides.

Where on the walker do these glides attach?
These glides are designed for the rear legs of wheeled walkers — the two back legs that do not have wheels. They allow the rear of the walker to glide smoothly along the floor as the user pushes the walker forward.

What tubing size do these fit?
These glides fit 1-1/8 inch diameter walker tubing. If your walker has 1 inch tubing, see the compatible Carex glides for that size. If you are unsure of your tubing diameter, measure the outside diameter of the rear leg or check your walker's documentation.

How many glides are included?
This listing includes one pair (2 glides) — enough to replace both rear leg glides on one walker.
