Aktiv reachers give people with impaired hand and arm function the ability to grip due to the gripping jaws, rubber grip areas and the magnet on the end. The reachers are available in different versions to suit different needs. The standard Aktiv reachers, which are available in two lengths 450mm (18 Inch) and 700mm (271/2 Inch), have angled handles in order to best utilise the strength of the hand. The handles have support for the index finger that improves precision. The jaws are adjustable in two positions so that the reachers can be used both vertically and horizontally without having to rotate the arm. The Aktiv reacher with power grip and hook has an angled handle that makes it easier to use even for people with limited grip and hand function.
An adjustable lower arm support relieves unnecessary loading on the wrist. The Aktiv reacher with hook has a combination of functions that make it particularly suitable for use when dressing and undressing. The jaw is designed to make it easy to push or pull clothing. It is only 450mm (18 Inch) making it small and versatile.The handles, push buttons and jaws are made of plastic and the tubes are made of aluminium.
