Features:
√ Safety transfer waist belts with release buckles can effectively help patients or loved ones safely transferring patients, walking and ambulation, prevent falls and other embarrassing situations.
√ The six strong grab handles: four vertical and two horizontal handles allowing the caregiver to move the patient from the best everage point from any side and any angle, making the patient safer and more comfortable.
√Four inch back is wider than traditional gait belts for more comfort and greater contact area with the patient.
√ The durable quick plastic release buckles of the waist and leggings loops allow the belt to be easily attached and separated.
All in all, great for home or hospital use: makes transferring patients from beds, chairs and wheelchairs simple.
grab handle ripped right off as we moved son not recommended be happy to share photos of the damaged handle. IT appeared to be exactly what we needed for our son who is disabled and neds assistance rising and moving. Today after only a couple of months of use we were positioning him on a step using the grab handles and one ripped right off. Luckily he was only a couple of inches out of positon and sitting straight so he was not seriously hurt. Just startled us. He is only 5.2 and about 120 lbs no where near what is pictured. So i say i would not recommend this product you cant chanc eit we were lucky
Wish it had more seat coverage than straps. The belt works but not as effective when the person is completely dear weight. I searched for a belt that lifted more from the buttocks than the thighs. Wrong belt for me.
