NYOrtho Gait Belt (275lbs) - Transfer Belt with 6 Heavy Handles -Lift Assist for Elderly and Patient Care - Gait Belts Transfer Belts for Seniors with Easy Fasten Buckle | Adjustable Size 28” to 55”

I've purchased several of these over the years for my mothers and friends' parents and can't say enough nice things about them. The snap buckle is soooo nice and once it's fit to someone's waist goes on in seconds, without having to thread & tie every time through a manual buckle like basic gait belts. The handles are super heavy duty and have held when catching parents weighing up to 250# w/o ripping loose at all.If you're a caregiver for anyone - especially if you're doing it full time - these are more than worth the money. I like & trust them enough to keep an extra in my car for days when I'm with someone who has forgotten their own.

I wish it is customized to the buyers size. However the extra length allows you to use this support from the hip waist to the torso depending on situation. The loop allows you to support the user in any sides of the belt. I have used it for my hubby and he doesn’t feel any edge of the belt pressure like other rigid gait or support belts.Easy to sanitize and if food drops on it it’s easy to wipe ofHighly recommended.

My stubborn grandpa got wobbly but refused to use a walker or wheelchair. I bought a bunch of mobility aids and this is the the one my family got the most use out of. Bought in 2021 and used it for nearly 3 years until his recent passing in 2024. It was a great help for family members and caretakers to help shuffle him through the house, into/out of the car, even helped us pick him up off the ground if he fell. Solid product. Definitely recommend, but hope it's a very long time before I need one again.

Could not use to transfer a non wt bearing person. The loops were not strong enough to get any lift. It was easy to put on. Had to return.

This sturdy waist belt has 6 loops to grab from any direction in moving a person in patient care, whether from the toilet, wheelchair, dining chair, bed, or any sit to stand position; it has a quick release in the front to take on or off, and is very thick quality material for supporting even the heaviest of person; this one is better than the other standard gait belt, I was using before with locking teeth; i don't leave it on the patient since it is easy on and easy off; i have not had to wash the belt yet, but it could hold up in the washer then air dry; i really like using this belt and the patients don't seem to mind having to wearing one, which saves my back.

The is belt is very well made. Multiple handles are very convenient and overall look is nice. There is one issue though - it does not always stay in place. We are using in on a person with the belly, so if tacked under the belly, all is fine, but if it slips from under the belly, it is loose and goes even higher. Must be closed tight, like you have to squeeze the body a little. I am still giving it a 5 because most likely there is the same with any other belt of this kind, not just this one, so bottom line - the product is on a high end in this category, but you need to be aware of common issue using belts for support.

I absolutely think the belt is great. All of the handles. Easy to clip on and off. BUT the only thing I do not like is the nylon belt does not grip at all onto clothes. The belt slips and slides. I will have to add craft store puffy paint like the grippers on the bottom of hospital socks. Maybe that will help so the belt doesn't slip. That is the only thing that I can complain about.

Easy to use makes transferring people a lot safer

This helps me lift a person with mobility problems

The product met all my expectations

Ma mère l’apprécie beaucoup pour ces déplacements et nous aussi surtout pour les transferts en auto. Ça sécurise les déplacements.

Unfortunately this didn’t work for us, a family member said it was uncomfortable when being stood up.

The manufacturer does not give buckle dimensions nor how much weight the buckle/belt is tested to handle. The buckle, I consider on the small side, given the body weight it has to handle in a lift. One has to be extremely cautious using this belt (most belts with these plastic buckles have the same flaw)…if there is a slight angle of the buckle, it will cause the belt strap to loosen from the buckle and enable someone to fall or loose balance. Once you know this you can work with that flaw, but you must be cautious. The belt is not padded for comfort and does not have a gripping material to hold it in place, that some other belts do. Theses may or may not be considered features you need, depending how you need to use the belt with a patient. Everything else is made of durable material and appears sturdy.
