Warning: For safety reasons, RNIB recommends you seek an assessment and training from a qualified mobility instructor before purchasing a cane.
Made from graphite tubing which is both strong and lightweight, giving greater flexibility and strength than aluminium canes. With strong, conical, anodized aluminium joints, these canes can withstand considerable use and provide superior tactile transmission.
Fitted with the CordLock device, which securely holds the internal elastic in place while you change the tip.
Please note that in some light conditions the colour of the cane may look grey rather than white, however it is still reflective (for example, in car headlights).#

Important
- Long canes should only be used by people who have received appropriate training from a specialist qualified professional, in order to attain a high level of safe and independent travel. Long canes are not to be used for supporting a person's body weight.
- When choosing the length of your cane, standard advice is that a long cane should reach between the user's sternum (breastbone) and under the chin, when the user is standing upright and the cane tip is touching the ground between their legs. However, the length and speed of walking stride will also affect the length of the cane required.
- Please note: All cane measurements are from the top of the handle to the bottom end of the tip and increase in steps of five centimetres (or two inches).
