grab bars

Bathroom safety handles

Grab bars are sturdy handrails mounted to walls, typically in bathrooms, to provide support and prevent falls.

They're installed near toilets, showers, and bathtubs, allowing people to steady themselves while sitting, standing, or moving on wet surfaces.

Though associated with accessibility for elderly or disabled users, grab bars serve anyone needing extra stability: The hotel bathroom had grab bars by the tub.
