Reaching aids get left in the wrong room, which is the usual reason a client stops using one. This Redgum reacher folds in half, so it fits in a bag, a walker basket or a car door pocket so it can travel with the person and stay within reach through the day.
The head rotates through ninety degrees, which lets your client pick up an item lying flat on the floor or take something off a shelf without twisting their wrist. Jaws are rubber lined for grip and carry a magnet on the top jaw for keys and coins. The trigger is a wide multi finger design and takes only light hand pressure, so it suits arthritic hands and reduced grip strength.
The arm is aluminium with plastic fittings and the handle has a soft rubber grip. It is a sensible choice for clients recovering from hip surgery under movement restrictions, and for anyone who should not be bending to floor level.
