Bending to the floor is the movement most likely to end in a fall or a strained back, and a reacher removes it from the daily routine. This Redgum reacher extends the client’s reach both down to the floor and up to a shelf, so they can retrieve dropped items, laundry and food packaging without going down after them.
The head rotates through ninety degrees, which lets the jaws meet a flat object squarely so it can be lifted cleanly. The trigger is wide enough for several fingers and takes little force, which makes it usable for clients with arthritis or reduced grip. Jaws are rubber edged so they hold smooth items.
The arm is lightweight aluminium and the handle carries a soft ergonomic grip, so it is comfortable to hold for the length of a task. A sensible everyday aid for clients with hip precautions, back pain or low balance confidence.
