Description

Suction mounted support

The Anchor family is a collection of suction cup grab bars with varying types of hand grips and arm supports to aid in upper extremity stabilization for people with disabilities. Stabilizing one arm helps increase upper body control so tasks and activities of daily living become easier.

Key Benefits:

Great in the classroom, at home or in a sheltered workshop, anchors are portable and sturdy, but not too heavy. The suction cup base fastens easily to any smooth, horizontal surface including wheelchair trays or stander trays.

Users with low tone receive support and develop strength for improved functional sitting. For users with high tone or movement disorders, the Anchor provides stability for increased functional use of the free hand and arm. Anchors promote inclusion and social development for the user.

Anchors are short-term positioning aids and are not intended for primary standing support or transfers.

“Whether stabilizing a child’s posture while he feeds himself or letting him type at the computer, we see huge improvements with the use of Rifton’s Anchors. I especially like the grab bar. I’ve used it on the floor for self-assisted rolling and on tables for repositioning. The versatility of the system has made the Anchor family indispensable at our facility.”
