Choosing Handicap Grab Bars (Buying Tips)

Type: For use in the toilet, choose Sheltering Arm Handicap Grab Bars over the wall-mounted models because they are more stable and comfortable to use. They work like chair armrests, allowing the disabled to sit down on the toilet more comfortably.

Permanence:
Choose a permanent handicap grab bar over a portable model because it is more stable and durable. Most portable grab bars are made with suction caps that do not provide the stability needed for body leverage.
