Skil-Care Gait Belt with Metal Buckle – Cotton, 60 in Long

Transfer gait belts are used by caregivers to aid with those whose mobility is impaired. These cotton gait belts help reduce the risk of injury to both the caregiver and the patient. Gait belts provide for safe ambulation when transferring someone from one position to another. Usually, this involves helping an individual move from a sitting position to a standing position. For the most part, these gait belts are used for lifting, ambulating or transferring the frail and disabled. Skil-Care gait/transfer belts are machine washable.
