Why we know this works!
We love this grab bar tape because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see wet, soapy hands slide right off smooth metal bars. How do you make a grab bar less slippery? Add a textured rubber surface: this tape combines rubber and adhesive so the bar stays grippy even in wet conditions, which matters because research in Clinical Biomechanics found people put an average of 23 percent of their body weight through a grab bar during normal movements. Installation is peel and stick: clean the bar, press the tape on firmly, done. It also works on walker handles.
This is especially helpful for people with weak hand strength from arthritis or a stroke, and anyone who showers with soapy or lotioned hands. The tape only fixes a slippery surface, not a loose bar: if your grab bar wobbles or is held by suction cups, fix the mounting first, because no tape makes an unstable bar safe.
