Description
The Handicare DisposableBelt 6054 is a single-use transfer belt that gives a caregiver a secure hold during a sit-to-stand, a seated transfer or walking. Item 6054 is a pack of five.
What does it do and how does it work?
- The 47 in (120 cm) by 4 in (10 cm) belt tightens by hand with a hook-and-loop closure.
- Two loops on one belt, medium and large, give a snug or a roomier fit.
- Vertical and horizontal handles, including cross-grips at the back, give the caregiver a grip.
- Safe working load: 220 lbs (100 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For a person who can stand with help and needs a secure hold during a short transfer.
- For short-term use: discard it when soiled or no longer needed.
- For daily long-term use, choose a washable belt such as the Drive RTL6292.
Will it fit?
- Measure below the waist. The medium loop takes 33-37 in (84-94 cm); the large loop 36-40 in (92-102 cm).
- One belt has both loops, so there is no separate small or extra-large.
Using it day to day
- Place it below the waist, choose the loop, fasten and tighten.
- Lean the user forward, and work in towards your body.
- One caregiver can work alone; two stand on either side at the cross-grips.
- Release the closure to remove it.
- Check seams and material before each use; discard if worn or faded.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It is not a lifting sling, and must not be used as a lifting device.
- Do not exceed the 220 lbs (100 kg) load rating.
- A person who cannot take weight through the legs needs a full-body sling and a lift.
How does it compare?
For daily use, the Drive RTL6292 gait belt is washable and fastens with a buckle. The ReTurnBelt disposable size L is another single-use belt for a 49-57 in (125-145 cm) waist. See all transfer and gait belts.
Frequently asked questions
