DMICotton Physical Therapy Gait Belt Transfer Belt with Handles, Quick Release, Adjustable, 50 Inches, Fleece Handles

This was perfect for helping my dad around the house. He uses a walker and the gait belt makes us both feel secure when I’m assisting him. It’s easy to adjust and the buckle snaps open/closed easily.

Perfect for what we needed

I ordered this belt for a CNA training course because the buckle looked like it would be easier to work with than the metal thread-through buckles. It was of good quality and true to product description. However, I learned that healthcare facilities do not use these plastic buckle gait belts and discourage their use citing the danger of pinching resident's skin and accidental release of buckle. I returned it and purchased the industry standard - a metal thread-through gait belt.

This gait belt is ok but really need one with a metal latch the physical therapist said the plastic one have a tendency to come apart

This has been a back saver for certain. I am a spouse/caregiver for a larger man. This product in this size was not available in the medical supply stores in my county! So I was extra-pleased when I found it on Amazon. I am a Prime Member, so shipment was included. Such a deal(:D)! After a professional showed me how to use it properly, I have found it easy to help my husband get up from a sitting position.

Handles good but buckle still a little hard. Would like to see something with a Velcro closing

A small price to pay for peace of mind. I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing assistance- especially if they are using a walker, crutches, or a cane- on stairs, uneven terrain, or on unfamiliar ground.I used this belt after a total knee replacement, and thank goodness my husband and I decided to buy this particular product as it prevented me from having a nasty fall on the stairs! He held on to the belt after I stumbled, and I didn't fall. Amazingly, I wasn't hurt or bruised. ai highly recommend this product to anyone that needs physical assistance.

Where as the metal buckle must be manually sized each time it is put around my waist, The plastic buckle holds my waist size in place and is easy to snap in place. Likewise, is easy to remove when it is no longer needed at the end of the day.

Easy to use

Not upto mark

Les ganses ne sont pas moltonnées ni rembourrées, mais en simple nylon coupant pour porter le poids d'une personne. Renvoyé le jour même.
