Transfer Belts & Gait Belts

Gait and Transfer Belts can be used to help manoeuvre and transfer patients who are dependent, have some weight-bearing capacity, and are cooperative.

With the help of the padded belts transfers such as bed to chair, chair to chair, or chair to car; when repositioning residents in chairs; supporting residents during ambulation; and in some cases when guiding and controlling falls or assisting a resident after a fall.

The purpose of the Gait and Transfer Belts is to put less strain on the back of the care giver and to provide support for the patient.
