HealthSmart innovates DME shelves with Griploc Sliding Reacher

WAUKEGAN, Ill. — HealthSmart on Wednesday announced the launch of the Griploc Sliding Reacher in what the company is characterizing as a revolution in the reaching product market. 

Built upon a two-handed linear design, the Griploc Sliding Reacher integrates PowerSlide technology. PowerSlide allows the user to securely grasp a range of items, removing the need to apply a level of pressure to grip an object. The Twist and Click function keeps objects securely locked into place, meaning the user doesn’t have to worry about dropping something if they lose their grip. This functionality coupled with an extra-wide jaw and micro-grip tips, means the movement of large and small items becomes an easy task for all, the company stated. 

“The Griploc Sliding Reacher’s innovative design and ease of use makes it a must for every home. Reaching items from the top shelves can be difficult anyway — even if you don’t have mobility issues — but this product solves those problems," said Vicky Mitchell SVP marketing for HealthSmart. "It’s great for small items that you can’t bend down for and essential for those hard-to-reach cupboards.”

The Griploc Sliding Reacher carries a suggested retail price of $39.99 and will be available in stores and online beginning in June.
