Straight grab bars and wall handrails for barrier-free safety
Straight grab bars and wall-mounted handrails are the basic elements of any accessible bathroom. At Hygiene-shop.eu, we offer a wide selection of certified grab systems specifically designed for the demanding environments of hospitals, nursing homes, and public buildings. Our grab bars assist patients in overcoming mobility barriers and provide caregivers with added safety when assisting in wet areas.
Fall protection in focus: Straight grab bars for clinics and care facilities
Wherever additional stability is needed when standing or walking, straight grab bars make a vital contribution to fall prevention. In the shower, next to the sink, or along hallways, our wall-mounted grab bars offer secure support. The ergonomic design allows for optimal force transmission, while the use of disinfectant-resistant materials such as stainless steel or polyamide guarantees the highest clinical hygiene standards.
Maximum load capacity
Our straight grab bars are certified for high tensile and compressive forces and offer safety for users of all weight classes.
Grippy textures
Many wall-mounted handrails have grooved or specially coated surfaces for optimal grip – even when wet and in contact with soap.
Modular lengths
Available in standard sizes from 300 mm to over 1000 mm, suitable for any spatial requirement in the medical sector.
Technical standards for B2B projects and hospital expansion
When planning hospitals or rehabilitation centers, choosing the right wall-mounted handrails is crucial for final building approval. We offer models that meet the requirements for barrier-free construction and, thanks to concealed screws, are both aesthetically pleasing and hygienic. The absence of open joints in our straight grab bars prevents the accumulation of germs and facilitates daily wipe disinfection by cleaning staff.
Safety according to DIN 18040
Our straight grab bars support compliance with DIN 18040 for accessible sanitary facilities. Ensure the correct mounting height (approx. 85 cm above finished floor level) and the use of building code-approved fasteners to guarantee permanent adhesion to various wall types.
