Bio-Shield Wipe-Clean Gait Belts β for Transfer Support
Model: Bio-Shield Wipe-Clean Gait Belt Series & Deluxe Rubber Handles
Availability: In Stock β Available in 60" & 72" Lengths, 5 Colors, or 6/PK Handles
A Gait Belt That Wipes Clean in Seconds β No Laundering Required
Traditional cotton gait belts soak up sweat and fluids, which means frequent washing and downtime between uses. The Bio-Shield Wipe-Clean Gait Belt replaces that porous webbing with a sealed, non-absorbent coating, so the whole belt can be disinfected in seconds with a standard healthcare wipe. It's a simple upgrade that cuts down on cross-contamination risk and laundry hassle, whether you're using it at home, in a rehab center, or on a hospital floor.
Underneath the wipe-clean coating is a reinforced high-tensile webbing core built for secure, dependable support during transfers and walking assistance. Belts come in 60" and 72" lengths across five colors, so you can size it to the user and, if needed, color-code belts by person or purpose. For transfers that call for extra hand leverage β like bariatric or high-movement transfers β the Universal Deluxe Rubber Gait Belt Handles (SKU: 914389) slide onto most standard gait belts to add a textured, non-slip grip.

Specialist Insight: Traditional cotton gait belts absorb fluids and can harbor bacteria, which means frequent machine washing. A fluid-proof, non-porous coating like Bio-Shield's solves that by sanitizing instantly with germicidal wipes instead. Pairing the belt with the Universal Deluxe Rubber Handles gives caregivers and therapists extra hand leverage on tougher transfers without giving up the wipe-clean convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is this easier to keep clean than a regular gait belt?
A: Standard cotton belts absorb moisture, sweat, and fluids, which means machine washing between uses. The Bio-Shield coating is smooth and non-porous, so it can be fully disinfected in seconds with a healthcare-grade wipe instead.
Q: How do the Universal Deluxe Rubber Handles work?
A: The handles (SKU: 914389) slide directly onto standard 2" gait belts. Their textured rubber surface gives caregivers extra grip and leverage during heavier or more demanding transfers.
Q: Why are there multiple color options?
A: The color options make it easy to keep belts organized β assigning a color per user, per department, or per hygiene rotation, so the right belt is always easy to spot.
Q: Which length should I choose?
A: The 60" length fits standard body frames, while the 72" length accommodates larger or bariatric users. Measure around the user's waist over clothing to confirm the right size before ordering.
