Bathtub Grab Bars / Bathtub Safety Bars & Rails

Bathtub safety grab bars are grab bars for tubs. They enable individuals with limited mobility to enjoy a relaxing bath without serious concern. Frequent showering is crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing infection, but at times, the anxiety you feel at the thought of attempting to get in or out of the tub can be enough to make you doubt if it’s worth the risk. 

Minimize the risk by installing bathtub safety bars in your bathtub! Bathroom safety grab bars are not very expensive, and will provide you with priceless peace of mind and prolong your independence. 

Tub-Mounted Bathtub Grab Bars

Aside from standard grab bars, which are secured onto the walls of the tub, there is also an over the tub grab bar which can be “clamped” onto the outer side of the tub; the side that one climbs in and out of the tub from. 

The main benefit of using a clamp-on bathtub grab bar is that it is extremely sturdy, and yet doesn’t require drilling in order to install it. A side benefit is that it comes in many different shapes, styles and sizes. 

These bathtub handrails allow for individuals with limited mobility to have an easier time entering and exiting the tub. They provide much-needed stability without damaging the tub in any way. 

It is important to check the bathtub safety rail every so often since there is always a chance that it may come loose over time.

Drive Bathtub Safety Rail

The Drive Bathtub Safety Rail is a durable, easy to install tub bar option. The white powder coated steel frame matches most white tubs for a pleasant look. Non-wearing rubber pads on the bottom of the Drive Medical Bathtub Grab Bar prevent the surface of the bathtub from becoming scratched from the bathtub safety bar. The Drive Bathtub Safety Bar allows for tool-free assembly and fits most tubs (not including fiberglass ones). There are two options of the Drive Bathtub Safety Rail; one that is both height (from 14.5" to 17") and width adjustable (from 3" to 7"), and one that is only width adjustable (from 3" to 7"). The weight capacity of this adjustable clamp is 300 pounds. 

The clamp can be adjusted for width by turning the locking mechanism. This tightens the rubber pads and pulls them closer to the tub for the most secure fit.
