Product Overview:

The Ski-Care Gait Belt Handles are created to assist caregivers when working with unstable ambulating patients. The handles provide a comfortable and secure way to grip the gait belt without having to bend or position the body in an uncomfortable position. These belt handles are constructed using reinforced nylon webbing that increases both the strength and durability of the handles. Each set of handles is simple to don and doff, as they are capable of slipping onto the gait belt and sliding to the most comfortable position for the patient and caregiver. Additionally, these handles are a universal fit for standard gait belts and are ideal for modifying any gait belt by adding more grip points for the caregiver.
This product is non-returnable.

More Information

Skil-Care Gait Belt Handles come in a quantity of 6, and are simple and effective for everyday use with patients that are able to walk freely, but need additional support at times. Each set of handles is equipped to support up to 250 lbs., so these are an excellent option for many patients that want to walk without assistance, but their caregivers may have stability concerns.

These handles are easy to equip and start using. Instructions as follows:
1. Place two loops handles on each individual gait belt. (The belt should be inserted through the smaller, inside loop, and the larger outside loop is the grip handle.)
2. Continue by securing the gait belt around the patients' waist. Position one of the loops at the center of the patients' back and the other loop at their side. Caregivers that are right-handed should position the side loop at the patients' left side, and left-handed caregivers should position the side loop on the patients' right side. Ideally, the caregivers' dominate hand should be used to hold the loop that is positioned at the patients' back to create the best possible support in case of any accidents or slippage from the patient.
