B&H Canvas Transfer/Gait Belt, 60"

For Patient Transfer Assistance While moving a patient from their bed to a wheelchair or vice-versa, a transfer gait belt with handles is generally used for better grip. The patient puts his/her arms around the caregiver’s waist, thus providing support to both. For Patient Walking Assistance During recovery, a patient may be advised by their doctor to get some exercise every day in the form of walking. A trained physiotherapist, caregiver or even a family member can assist the patient with walking. It will allow the assistance provider to get a good hold of the patient while assisting them off the bed and even when the patient attempts to walk on their own. The handles offer a far better hold than traditional padded ones. Gait Belts Prevent Accidents There are some cases when a patient is weak that they tend to fall easily. In such an instance, a caregiver can support the patient together with the patient’s efforts. So, a Padded Gait Belt with handles and leg support can help caregivers keep a better hold of the patient.
