Medline Bath Tub Support Bar, Rail Grips Bathtubs Up To 6" Wide, 250 lb Weight Capacity, White

This grab bar works well for my 140 lb.,86 year old arthritic mom. We installed it on our standard tub. It is easily removable and repositionable. My mom is using it in combination with a bench shower chair and it is working well. We did not have good spots for wall-stud-mounted grab bars. It was an inexpensive and excellent alternative to tearing up a bath room to install wall grab bars. (Don't try the suction-cup ones if you need to support full weight- they are not true grab bars and might give way just when you need them.) This style grab bar was recommended to us by an occupational therapist assisting my mom.

My wife was weak from extended stay in hospital, so I got the safety bar for her to use to get out of the tub. Used a couple of dry runs to get it placed properly and then tightened down the clamp. She is now able to get in and out of the tub without any assistance from me. The bar is solid welded steel and the clamp is very effective, holds the bar to the side of the tub. Note that my wife weighs in the 100 lb. range.
