Ambutech cane tips are made from a variety of materials and come in a number of different shapes and sizes. They are attached to Ambutech canes in one of 3 ways: Hook-on, Slip-on or 8mm Threaded.

All Ambutech cane tips have been designed to work with the two predominate mobility techniques: two-point touch and constant contact.

Tip style

8mm Threaded tips use compression to securely fit Telescopic and Graphite ID/Symbol canes.

High Mileage Rolling Ball Tip – one of the largest available cane tips and is ball shaped, with a unique built in roller shield that protects the bearing that rolls from side to side. Mostly used by beginner cane users or those who walk long distances. Due to its size, it tends to get stuck the least. Made from special material that allows for the tip to last 3 to 4 times longer than the regular nylon rolling ball tip.

Achieving Goals

Mobility canes help people who are blind or have low vision navigate independently by detecting obstacles in their path. They are intended for people who have had training that enables them to use the cane for safe and independent travel. An ID/Symbol cane helps others identify the individual as blind or has low vision.

The optimal tip for a mobility cane will depend on the following factors: the environment in which it will be used i.e. the terrain, cane technique being used and personal preference for the type and amount of feedback provided. Work with our Orientation and Mobility Specialists to ensure the optimal cane tip is used for safe travels.
