It may not always be necessary to immediately install wall mounted grab bars (although we do recommend that this is the way to go!).
Sometimes, just using a suction grab bar may be the solution – as long as it’s meant as a temporary solution and if the person using it will not put their full weight on it. Suction grab bars are ONLY meant for support – even their manufacturers state that they should NOT be relied on to stop a fall!
All that being said, here are some suction grab bars that you can look at and consider using.
Note: no tools are required to install any of these grab bars. Suction grab bars can only be used on smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces.
