Posey 6546 Premium EZ Clean Gait Belt, Black, 60 in, 1 Count

The only gait belt I've ever used in professional practice. Strong, wipeable, easy on/off, and a reliable buckle mechanism. This was also the lowest price I could find anywhere. Highly recommend over any other cheaper belt - it's worth the cost when you need something high quality for everyday (safe!) use.

This is similar to the one our PT had in the hospital for my partner's stay. I have more confidence in helping her walk and keep her balance with this belt. I like that it's not cloth so it can easily be sanitized with the wipe of a cloth. It closes tightly and I feel secure that it will stay in place, even when I have to pull from the back to steady her.

Nice gate belt! Sturdy, stiff for easy pull up and help with control for the caregiver to move or adjust the patient

While this metal buckle is super sturdy, it's not overly easy to put on & tighten up. When compared to a belt with a quick-release buckle, it takes longer to put on -- and it also takes a little longer to remove it. For that reason, we don't use it as much as the cloth FabLife gait belt (with a quick-release buckle) that we also purchased from Amazon. On the other hand, if you're using this gait belt for several different people -- where it has to be constantly adjusted -- this would be a good gait belt to purchase. In addition, the vinyl belt can be easily cleaned (disinfected), and it can be readily cut down to size with a razor knife if you need to make it a little shorter. Unlike a cloth belt, it can't unravel.

I like everything about this product. It does exactly what it was supposed to do it. Goes around my husband's chest. He had a near full new replacement, and this allows me to help pull him up from a lower chair position, or help him in and out of the car, or in and out of bed, and it gives a safety feature. Peace of mind to both myself and my husband and its reliability is great for both of us, because he's a much taller bigger man than I am and I wouldn't be able to do it without the belt, I wouldn't be able to help him without the belt and the best bonus for my husband is that he's lost weight during this process, and he knows it because he's actually having to adjust the belt. Because it keeps getting looser and looser, so I would recommend it to anyone who his head physical therapy is needs a belt

I ordered this product after seeing that it matched the type of gait belt that I used while an inpatient in a rehabilitation hospital. I had previously tried the woven gait belt. It has a clasp with teeth for holding them in place. I found this to be awkward and often times i could not get the belt as tight as was desired. With this product, this was not a problem. The belt was easily adjustable and stayed in place once the desired tension was achieved. I was able to use the belt to get in and out of the shower. There is a plastic coating over the belt so that it is waterproof . The ability to where the belt in and out of the shower provides an extra degree of comfort in case there is a slip either going into or out of the shower. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is in need of a gait belt.

I an OT and I use this on my patients. Its easy to sanitize but a little hard to adjust. Wish it was a little bit cheaper.

Did not work for what I needed it for.
