Reacher

This reacher is uniquely designed for users with reduced hand function, and so offers a far superior functionality to any others we have trialled.  The reacher is simply operated by wrist extension so no need for finger function or an ability to give a firm squeeze. This is a fantastic feature for quads and those with reduced hand function. The device is adjustable to your measurements (no “one-size fits no-one”) and is available in left or right hand variations.

It is made of high quality materials that are both durable and light-weight. The jaws are coated with rubber to give a good gripping surface.

There are many uses for this reacher, here are some suggestions of how you could use it:

• pick up items from the floor/ground – telephone, wallet, pills, pencil, coins, etc.
• take items from, or place them on, shelves or into drawers
• pick up or place items from a distance away
• open/close windows
• take jackets, hats, scarves, etc. from the coat rack
• roll down/up roller blinds
• pick up or grab from a distance a catheter or other aid
• put laundry into the washing machine or drier
• make the bed
• take dishes (cups, plates, etc.) from the cupboard
• load or unload dishes into the dishwasher
• take food from the freezer
• place food into the microwave for heating

The reacher is 29.5in (75cm) long, weighs less than 1lb (440g) and can lift up to 6.5lb (3kg) of weight.
