ViveGait Belt (300lbs) Transfer Belt with Handles - Medical Nursing Safety Patient Assist - Bariatric, Elderly, Handicap, Physical Therapy - PT Gate Strap Quick Release Metal Buckle, Grabbing Teeth

My husband had a stroke almost 7 years ago and uses this during PT as it doesn't cut into his ribs like the traditional gait belt. His therapist even like how many handles it offers when he is walking an needs a second helper then they are not both trying to hold on in the same place or pulling the belt so the other doesn't have a good hold position.

Excellent this is my second one ( transfer belt )Without it I couldn’t lift my wife from the bed to the wheelchair or wheelchair to the bathroom

Totally has helped me to assist in lifting and maneuvering my elderly father from chair to bed to wheelchair.

The grips are in good places, but the material was too slick on the inside and made it slippery. We had to synch it up like a chastity girdle to not ride up.

Weather it’s a one assist or two this gate belt gives you a better grasp with handles your loved one or patient is safe

It helps getting a person up without hurting them or yourself

Great design with one annoying flaw. The "dense nylon webbing" is quite slick. The teeth of the buckle don't grab the nylon well. The belt always slips looser. And, I don't mean when the person changes position and the belt needs to be tightened because it has shifted to a narrower part of their body. The belt will just slip looser with every assisted transfer. I have to re-tighten it every single time, while the person is seated, and the belt is at the same point on the waist. This adds a lot of time to a transfer that is 6 separate movements. I plan to buy a regular transfer belt canvas material, and modify this belt so that the teeth actually dig in and grip. The rest of the belt is great. I love the wider style, added padding, and padded handles. I just wish the waistband was made from the standard gait belt webbing.

Made me feel safe helping my mom.
