Gait Belts, also known as walking belts, have proven to be helpful to use in the transfer of patients or to gain a secure hold on Alzheimer's patients that are prone to falls.

A Gait Belt also provides a secure way to steady or guide patients when transferring or walking.

Gait Belts are 2" wide and are constructed of heavy duty cotton webbing. The Gait Belt is secured in place around the waist of the patient with a locking "teeth" mechanism.

Gait Belts provide secure additional hand holds for caregivers to transfer patients or loved ones. A smarter solution than grabbing onto flimsy belt loops that can snap at anytime.

Whether used in a home or professional setting, Gait Belts provide the extra leverage a caregiver needs.

The Contoured Pediatric Cushion features Stimulite honeycomb for optimum pressure relief, stability and ventilation. The perforated honeycomb cells distribute weight evenly to relieve pressure, circulate air to prevent the build up of heat and moisture and flex with movement to reduce shearing. A breathable cover, which wicks away moisture, works with the honeycomb to keep children cool and comfortable.

The back of the cushion folds up for extra positioning; removable Hook and Loop straps secure it in place or release the cushion as the child grows. Machine washable and dryer safe, this cushion is naturally antibacterial, antifungal and odor resistant. An optional incontinence pad fits inside the cover beneath the cushion. Available in sizes ranging from 10 to 14; 2 1/2 thick; weighs only 1-2 lbs.; flat or sling bottom.
