Extender Offers Aid when You Can't Reach

Beth Inman
If you or one of your loved ones are suffering from arthritis or any injury that restricts arm and shoulder movement, you know all too well what it is like to need something from the top shelf and not be able to raise your arms to reach for it. You know as well what it is like to drop something and not be able to reach down and pick it up. Thanks to Duro-Med help is here.

As we all know, one of the worst things about arthritis is the loss of independence it causes. Depending on someone else to do our common tasks is difficult, and for some people there is no one there to ask to do the simple things you need done every day. There are things out there that can help you care for yourself, and do some of those things you have not been able to do for yourself in a while. Duro_Med has developed a 30" Reacher Extender with Magnetic Tip that will reach up to 30" for those times when you can't reach for something yourself. This extender will return a great deal of the independence that arthritis has taken away from you. The Extender is simply designed and is operated by pulling a trigger between your fingers. The trigger causes the grabber on the end of the extension to open and close, allowing you to pick up objects. The handle is easy to hold onto and the shaft is very strong. The gripper has a rubber tip so that you don't scratch things you are picking up. The tip is magnetic, which also makes picking up metal items you have dropped much easier.

This Extender is designed for those who have restrictions in shoulder movement yet you must have the ability to use your hands in order to operate the trigger. Personal use of this extender makes me able to say that it does not require great strength in your hands, but flexibility of the pointer finger is a must as this is how you will operate the extender.

If you or a loved one has arthritis or an injury that restricts their reach, do them a great favor and buy them one of these wonderful daily aids. It will truly make a difference in their life. Overall, I think that you will be pleased with this extender and will find an improvement in daily functions.
