General description

The following canes are covered within these instructions:
MS20 (white) MS40 (red and white) – 70cm
MS22 (white) MS41 (red and white) – 85cm
MS23 (white) MS42 (red and white) – 100cm
MS25 (white) MS43 (red and white) – 105cm
AmbuTech symbol canes are made from aluminium. The sections are joined together
by one piece of elastic cord held in place by an eyelet style tip, and knotted through a
plastic end cap on the handle.
White symbol canes are intended to be used to indicate visual impairment only. They
are not designed to be used as a support aid, or for detecting obstacles on the ground
such as kerbs and steps. Red and white banded symbol canes highlight both a hearing
and visual impairment.

Hints and Tips

Looking after your cane

Clean the joints regularly with a wet cloth. Do not use the cane if there is evidence of
fraying of the elastic cord. Check for excessive wear of the cane tips and replace when
necessary.
