How durable is carbon fiber?
Whether you're trekking, walking, or recovering, the durability of carbon fiber makes a difference. At INDESmed, our innovative products use this advanced material to ensure strength, comfort, and lasting performance.
What is carbon fiber made of?
Understanding what carbon fiber is made of helps explain its incredible durability. At its core, carbon fiber consists of thin strands of carbon atoms bonded in a crystalline formation. This microstructure gives it unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, perfect for high-performance applications from aerospace to INDESmed’s ergonomic walking canes, crutches, and trekking poles.
Our carbon fiber products are engineered not just for resistance, but for daily durability, supporting your mobility with minimum fatigue and maximum comfort.
How Is Carbon Fiber Made and Used in INDESmed Products?
Let’s break down how carbon fiber is made:
It begins with a precursor usually polyacrylonitrile (PAN) which is heated in stages to remove non-carbon atoms. The result is a high-purity carbon material, woven and layered for strength.
Carbon fiber uses are widespread, from car parts to sports gear but INDESmed applies this advanced material to medical devices. The result? Crutches and canes that are ultra-light yet unbreakable, reducing joint stress and offering lifetime reliability.
FAQ
The key carbon fiber properties extreme tensile strength, low weight, resistance to corrosion, and fatigue durability make it the material of choice for advanced mobility aids. INDESmed products maximize these benefits, ensuring users experience comfort, stability, and longevity in daily use.
How long do carbon fiber crutches last?
With proper use, they can last more than 10 years without losing effectiveness or safety. Even with intensive use, their structure remains intact.
Does carbon fiber break easily?
No. In fact, it's one of the strongest materials on the market. Its combination of lightness and strength makes it ideal for mobility products.
