A gait belt is a tool that is used to help nurses and clinicians transfer patients, such as from a bed to a chair. Gait belts can also be used to help hold someone up while they walk if they are too weak to walk on their own. The gait belt helps nurses provide support and decreases the risk of back injury for nurses while transfering patients.
ASP Medical’s Gait Belt is an excellent tool for safely transferring your patient to and from their bed, chair, or wheelchair. This product reduces the risk of patient falls and injuries, while also decreasing the chance of back pain for the caregiver. This Gait Belt features a quick-release metal buckle and durable design to efficiently support and stabilize patients. Product is constructed of 2″ wide, heavy duty cotton webbing that will not stretch or snap during use and is available in a variety of colors and different lengths. Be sure to measure the wearer’s waist to determine size prior to ordering.
Nurses are uniquely vulnerable to disabling back injuries on the job – in any given year, half of all nurses will suffer from lower back pain. These two trends come together when patients need help positioning their bodies for required nursing care.
The Helping Hands tissue displacement strap lets just one person safely move or lift the patient’s pannus or other tissue out of the way for care or procedures. Designed for convenient, disposable use at the bedside, the Helping Hands positioner lets one clinician quickly and safely move patient tissue out of the way for care like hygiene, skin checks, central venous line placement or catheter placement.
