Review on 🚿 Carex Suction Shower Grab Bar – 12” Ultra Grip Shower Handle - Dual Locking Grab Bars for Bathtubs and Showers – Helping Seniors, Disabled, and Handicapped Individuals with Elderly Assistance by Mike Sutherland

Work well. For safety reasons, check the suction power before each use.

I've looked at this style before and just wasn't sure how safe they are. After the surgery, my occupational therapist at home recommended I buy one, which I did. I like them because they seem to lock, although the lock is a bit tricky to close. How well they stick over time depends on the surface. The surface must be clean and flat (not deformed at all). I got two and one has stuck firmly since I applied it two months ago. The other is on a surface that moves slightly, causing the bottom seal to loosen over a few days. I always check both handles before use and only tighten the loose one when checking. They are NOT designed to support full body weight, but for balance and stability. If a person is very unbalanced, screw-in grips must be installed. For those who just need a little help to stay stable, this is good.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • exchange availability
