Posey Gait and Transfer Belts provide caregivers with a secure hold point to assist
patients/residents during supervised walking and transfers. Used correctly, Gait
and Transfer Belts reduce the risk of injury to the patient / resident and the
caregiver resulting from a loss of balance or an uncontrolled fall.
NoTe: This product is not intended for use as a restraint. Remove after each use. When
not in use, the caregiver can wear the belt for immediate access as needed.
Never apply a Gait Belt or Transfer Belt if there is any compromise of safety
or indication of inappropriateness to the patient or caregiver. Patients using a Gait Belt
or Transfer Belt that have the following conditions should always be evaluated: ostomy,
colostomy, G-tubes, hernias, severe Cardio Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), as well
as those with post-surgery incisions, or those fitted with monitoring equipment, tubes
or lines that might be compromised by the pressure or the rubbing against a Gait Belt
or Transfer Belt. Do not use a Gait Belt or Transfer Belt if the risk is outweighed by the
benefit.
Do not over-rely on a Gait or Transfer Belt. These are not a substitute for
good body mechanics when assisting patients. Get assistance when needed, and always
follow the facility’s written procedures for approved assisted walking, lifting and/or
transfer procedures.
MONITORING: ALWAYS check for skin integrity, proper circulation and range
of motion when the belt is in use. Ensure that the belt is secure and does not compromise
the patient’s medical condition and does not interfere with tubes, lines or other
equipment.
INSPECTION: ALWAYS inspect before each use: check for broken stitches or
parts; torn, cut or frayed material; or buckles that are cracked or broken and do not hold
securely. NEVER use soiled or damaged products.
NEVER use a Gait or Transfer Belt as a seat belt or to position a
person in a chair or vehicle. Gait and Transfer Belts are not designed for
seat positioning or to withstand the force of a crash.
DISPOSAL: Properly dispose of the product per facility’s policy for
BIOHAZARDOUS materials.
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Gait and Transfer Belts are designed for use
in normal indoor environments. Store in ambient warehouse temperatures at normal
humidity levels. Avoid excess moisture or high humidity that may damage the product.
