Which category specifies adjustable aluminum or wood crutches for support?

• A. Non-Consumable Supplies
• B. Crutch Adjustment
• C. Traditional Crutches
• D. HOPE Crutches

Answer: (A)

Durable, reusable equipment used in patient care is categorized as non-consumable supplies. Adjustable crutches made of aluminum or wood fit this because they’re designed for long-term use across many patients and aren’t expended in a single use. They can be cleaned, inspected, and adjusted as needed, remaining in the facility’s inventory over time rather than being discarded after one use.

Crutch adjustment refers to the process of setting the correct length and fit, not to the item’s category. Traditional crutches describes a style, and HOPE Crutches refers to a specific program or product line, not the general inventory classification.
