Secure STWB-70A Padded Gait Belt for Seniors with Handles and Push Button Buckle - 70 Inch Transfer Belt for Lifting Seniors - Elderly Safety Walking Medical Gate Standing Assist Aid Physical Therapy

I love this belt to help my mom walk and transfer. It has many handles to grab on to and I love the snap buckle versus the belt buckle type fastener. Easy on, easy off. Pretty easy to tighten when they stand up, if you put on while in sitting position.

Have not used it yet but it seems to be just what is needed to help avoid injury to both the patient and the caregiver

Just like the transfer belts used at the Rehab facility but with loops. This belt - and loops- has worked wonderfully in helping with mobility issues (standing, sitting, transferring from bed to wheelchair or wheelchair to car). It’s tricky because the belt has to be tight enough to help lift the person yet loose enough to not squeeze the patient when it inevitably slides up around the chest area.The longer length of the belt also lets us wrap the immobile left arm where we h the exceed length (sort of like a sling) to keep track of the arm when transferring the patient and keep it out of the way.

I like the idea of this lift belt having handles. Might make it easier to grab a hold of. The quality seems good, but haven't needed to use it yet (thank God). I think it will work for helping my mom up. I first purchased one of those wider lift belts, but it didn't work because she is short-waisted with low breasts.

Bought as a gift. Works well

Much easier and quicker to put on patient/client than traditional Gait Belt strap., uses clips instead of threading mechanism.. client feels more secure in it.

This was a great idea and probably works great, but only for someone who has few if any curves, ie, someone who is thin. On my mother, it was useless as it just slid up her body if we put it around her folded over belly. The instructions say not to put it around the chest, but the only place it would stay put was under her arms. Even then, it would loosen up so again it was fairly useless for our purposes. Back to the traditional gait belt!

I purchased two of these a couple of weeks ago and just purchased two more. These are great for assisting elderly persons with limited strength. Two of the CNA's who stays with my wife asked me to buy them one. They carry the belts with them to other clients. I have one for the house and one for the car. There are multiple handgrips placed around the belt and easy to grasp. The adjustment of the belt is much easier than a standard belt and the nylon fabric is much more sturdy. The tail of the belt is long, so I am going to adjust it to my wife and cut/seal it so I don't have to deal with a tail.
