Hand Anchors
To prevent falls and
resulting injury, do not
use Rifton Anchors as a primary support
or as a standing support. Suction cups
may release.
To prevent falls and cuts, do not use
Rifton Anchors on thin glass.
Recommended use
Hand Anchors can be used on any of our
available trays. They give the client an
anchor to control excessive movement of
the arms and encourage stabilization of the
shoulder girdle. The client may hold on with
both hands for stabilization training or with
one hand, keeping the other hand free.
Operation
On a clean smooth table or tray, press
down on suction cup and turn handhold
clockwise until secure. To remove, turn
handhold counterclockwise.

WARNING
Tip:
Surface must be very smooth and
completely clean to get a strong seal.
If suction cup does not hold well, wipe
with a damp cloth or apply a thin layer
of petroleum jelly around the rim of the
rubber pad to enhance the vacuum.
