FREQUENTLY  ASKED  QUESTIONS

Q.) What walkers will these fit?
A.) Penco Walker Glides will fit most walkers on the market, including Invacare, Guardian, Rubbermaid (Carex), Graham-Field (Lumex), and so many more.  We fit wheeled walkers with 1 1/8" or 1" tubing, measuring the outside diameter of the tubing.

Q.) How long will they last?
A.) We don't guarantee a time period, because there are so many variables involved.  We trust you will be happy with the ease and durability of our glides, but if you are dissatisfied, please let us know.  Honestly, we want the best for the consumer, even if turns out to be some other product.

Q.) Where can we buy Penco Walker Glides?
A.) Consumers:  Go to your favorite store where you buy medical supplies.  Ask for our walker glides, and if they are not currently in stock, we can ship an order that afternoon.
Medical Equipment Suppliers:  Call us at 1-800-370-1582 or place your order online.  There are no minimum orders, no applications to fill out, no hassles.  We try to ship the same day we receive the order.

Q.) Will insurance pay for these?
A.) Glide tips are considered a "luxury" by Medicare, so would doubtfully be covered by insurance.  In a facility, our glides would usually be considered an ancillary charge.

Q.) What else should we know?
A.) Penco Walker Glides (item #3010) are made of a durable polymer resin suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage.  The stainless steel tightening bolt won't rust when exposed to moisture.  They are patented, and available at a number of distributors and medical equipment companies throughout the United States.  We have earned our CE mark, which allows us to also ship to countries in Europe.
