Skil-Care Cotton Gait Belt with Quick-Release Delrin Buckle (60-Inch / Standard Pinstripe)
Skil-Care Cotton Gait Belt with Quick-Release Delrin Buckle — Pinstripe (60" x 2")
Patient Handling & Ambulation System with High-Tensile 2-Inch Cotton Webbing, Easy-Release Delrin Side-Release Buckle, Standard 60-Inch Sizing Workspace, and High-Visibility Pinstripe Pattern
The Skil-Care Cotton Gait Belt with Quick-Release Delrin Buckle (Model: 252050) is an essential, everyday handling tool engineered to ensure safer ambulation, standing transitions, and physical transfers. Designed with a traditional handle-free profile, this 2-inch wide belt wraps tightly around an individual's natural waist over their clothing, creating a secure mechanical grab point for nurses, physical therapists, and home health aides. By utilizing the belt's perimeter for direct support, caregivers can guide individuals with total confidence, eliminating dangerous pulling on arms or clothing while drastically reducing their own risk of occupational lower-back and shoulder injuries.
Crafted from 100% high-tensile, launderable cotton webbing in a professional pinstripe pattern, the belt incorporates an impact-resistant composite Delrin polymer side-release snap clasp. The buckle locks down securely under tension and allows caregivers to unclip the belt in seconds with a fast, two-finger pinch. Rated for users up to 250 lbs and built to withstand high-temperature institutional laundering up to 180°F, the Skil-Care 252050 delivers long-lasting durability and quick-release convenience for hospitals, physical therapy clinics, and home care environments.
