Reduce risk of injury for both resident and caregiver with the convenience of Skil-Care Gait Belt Handles.
Purpose
Skil-Care Gait Belt Handles are designed to provide caregivers with a more secure and comfortable way to grip gait belts when a patient is being ambulated. For general application, the model #SKC-913145 could be used but for a more pathogen-free environment, model #SKC-914389 should be considered, especially when used with the Skil-Care Pathoshield Wipe-clean Plastic gait belts.
Use instructions
It is recommended that two to three handles be placed on the gait belt by placing the gait belt through the outer smaller loop. If more than one caregiver is ambulating the resident, it is recommended that a trial walk be made with an ambulatory person so that ambulation is coordinated. The orientation of the handles should be made to maximize stability of the patient and caregivers. See illustration for a possible location of the handles.
Care instructions
Both models can be wiped clean with a mild disinfectant.
