You press it firmly against a smooth, non-porous surface and flip the lever locks to create a secure seal. Grip indicators on each end turn to confirm the suction is holding. To remove it, flip the levers back and it releases cleanly without leaving a mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; font-size: 1em;\"\u003e2.

It is designed for light steadying only — not for pulling yourself up from a seated position, catching a fall, or supporting your full body weight.

When the suction is secure, they show a confirmation signal. If the seal has weakened or not engaged properly, the indicator changes. Always check both indicators before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; font-size: 1em;\"\u003e5.
