About When you suffer a fall, one of the last things you want is to be found naked in the bathroom unable to get up - not very dignified, is it? The AmeriLuck Suction Grab Bars have many safety features and if used correctly can be a valuable addition to any bathroom, just using them for that extra stability you sometimes need. Who Should Use a Suction Grab Bar? Figures from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reported that nearly a quarter of a million nonfatal injuries a year in the U.S. were bathroom related. Bet you never realized your bathroom was that dangerous! Over two-thirds of the accidental injuries were in the bathtub or shower - not surprising when you consider how wet and slippery they get. The AmeriLuck Suction Grab Bars aren’t just for the elderly either. Anybody who struggles with mobility or balance issues may find a grab bar makes showering or bathing so much easier. In fact, injuries around the tub or the shower are proportionately most common between the ages of 15 to 24. If you’re traveling, a suction grab bar is something you can slip in your case for that extra safety away from home. Guidelines under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 are very strict concerning the placement and quality of grab bars used in public buildings. As a result many hotels don’t install grab bars, while grab bars for home use or mobile use aren’t regulated by the ADA. Are AmeriLuck Suction Grab Bars Safe? If the suction grab bars are used correctly can be a great addition to your bathroom safety equipment. But remember, they’re not 100 percent fail proof. Many can easily lose their suction, especially if you don’t check them before use. That's the motive that AmeriLuck developed these suction grab bars with suction indicators. The AmeriLuck suction grab bars are recommended for balance assist, but shouldn’t be used to support your full bodyweight.

If you need more than a little tug, get AmeriLuck Stainless Steel Bath Grab Bars Series with 500 pounds loading capacity fitted instead or as well as these suction grab bars.
