Making lives better
By Randy Simons
I am happy to say that a member of my family was fortunate enough to obtain one of these. Because this person has had a number of medical procedures recently, getting around the house has been a bit more of a challenge than it may have been in the past.There are a number of ways to address this, but not one that costs less than $100. To retrofit a home with permanent bars would have cost well into the thousands, but this bar is perfectly mobile and can be placed virtually anywhere in the home where someone might need an extra hand at a particular time.As well, this product has been failure proof from day one. It has not even slipped a single time with the many times it has been used. That is very important since a failure like that could potentially cause significant injury.I would recommend this product to anyone who is considering a low cost and highly effective temporary solution for themselves or for someone who is in need.

Please allow me to take this opportunity to respond to some of the comments a small percentage of Amazon's customers have had regarding their disappointment with our Portable Grab Bars.Bridge Medical Portable Grab Bar's are intended to be used only on smooth, non-porous, flat surfaces. We've tried to make it as clear as possible - if you intend to use them on tiles, the minimum diameter of the tile needs to be 5 inches or greater for our 4.7 inch suction grip models. Our current lineup of Portable Grab Bars have suction cup diameters of 4.7 inches, and so they do not work on 4 inch or smaller tiles. Suza and Robert are correct in their assessment to 'be sure your tiles are large' enough - and it's unfortunate that they attempted to adhere our Portable Grab Bar over grout lines which we specifically state numerous times not to do under any circumstances.With regards to Suza's comment that our PGB's 'look imposing' or 'feel as if you're in a medical setting', I would have to respectfully disagree, as would most of our happy customers. Our products were designed specifically to look great in any decor while holding stronger than any other device on the market. If you compare our products to the other 'suction grab bars', you will see that our products differ in looks significantly and most agree, for the better. But safety is the most important trait to have in these devices and ours are VERY strong, which makes them slightly bigger than the $10 suction balance assists that can't compare to our SAFETY FIRST products. We receive comments daily from happy consumers that love our product for its looks, but bought it for the safety it gives them or their loved ones.In fact, our Single Grip (BC201) was just tested by a 3rd party to hold up to 365 lbs of pull pressure. To put that into perspective, the average human male in his 20's can pull about 120 lbs of pull pressure before his grip releases. In other words, when our Portable Grab Bars are affixed to the proper surface, it takes an extraordinary effort for it to release, an effort most humans can't exert. That is how we designed it and that is why we are trusted by thousands of consumers with their lives and the lives of their loved ones.I'm confident that if Suza and Robert would give our product another chance on an appropriate surface, which we describe in detail in our product description on Amazon and in our product literature & website, they would find that it works very well without failure.Please feel free to email me directly if you have any questions on our outstanding and SAFE Portable Grab Bars.Daniel MatschinaPresident & CEOBridge Medical[...]

Time up
By Barbara Orth
I did much research on this type of item and found this to have the quality and safety features I was interested in. The only downside to this product is that it needs to be taken off the wall after each use. I left it adhered and within 24hrs it was on the floor of the shower. I thought it would be a more permanent fixture than that. I didn't read this on the product description, only on the insert of the product after purchase.
