What is the portable Aktiv Reacher?

The Aktiv Reacher from Etac is a very useful extension tool that helps people with limited mobility to grab, pick up, put down, or move items that they would normally find difficult to get to.

This extension aid allows you to pick up a newspaper from the floor, a slipper from under the bed, a key on the table, your glasses on the cupboard, etc. It even has a magnet in the handle to help you pick up metal objects such as paper clips, safety pins, or hair clips. This grabber is engineered to lift up to 2 kg. The handle is designed to be used by people with a weakened hand grip. The reacher has outstanding precision to grab small items.

The jaws open wide but still grab the smallest item. A unique feature is the possibility to turn the jaws. They can easily be set in two different positions: horizontally and vertically. This means the reacher can be used without having to turn the arm.

Suitable for a variety of users: those who are frail, seniors, disabled, back pain sufferers, post-surgery patients, people with arthritis, etc. The product is user-friendly and requires minimal hand strength for ease of use. This product gives individuals increased independence. Enabling a ‘do it yourself’ capability that may not have been possible before.

The Aktive Reacher from Etac is very useful in and around the home and can help to minimise the risk of falls.
