Our take on the Medline Grab Bar Bathtub and Shower Handle for Seniors, 12In

The Medline 12-inch grab bar is a steel bathroom safety handle rated to support up to 300 pounds. It mounts horizontally or vertically on a solid wall with the included hardware, and the white finish blends into most tub and shower surrounds. It suits older adults and anyone steadying themselves in the bathroom or on stairs. Compared with longer bars, its 12-inch length gives a compact handhold rather than a full-length rail, so it fits tight spaces but covers less reach.
