The Non Slip function combined with the shaped Grip and the inbuilt Safety has also seen the ARC Non Slip Safety Ruler become an invaluable tool used in the area of Occupational Therapy for many different applications for the young, disabled or elderly.

The Non Slip backing is safe for most surfaces and does not contain any PVC's or carcinogenic hydrocarbon compounds.
