The CanDo® Padded Transfer Belt (Large) is a patient transfer aid designed to improve safety, comfort and control when assisting individuals during standing, walking and seated transfers. Suitable for clinical environments, aged care facilities, rehabilitation centres and home care, it provides caregivers with secure handholds while helping maintain patient dignity throughout transfers.
Unlike standard webbing gait belts that can concentrate pressure around the waist, this model incorporates a wide padded section that improves patient comfort during assisted movement. The soft, breathable lining helps reduce discomfort during use, making it well suited to patients requiring repeated transfers throughout the day. Four strategically positioned handle loops allow caregivers to choose the safest grip position for improved control when assisting patients from beds, chairs, wheelchairs or during supervised ambulation.
The adjustable belt accommodates waist sizes from 102 cm to 162 cm, while the plastic side-release buckle allows quick fitting, adjustment and removal. Its colour-coded black design enables fast size identification within busy rehabilitation departments and healthcare facilities. Combining patient comfort with practical caregiver assistance, the CanDo Padded Transfer Belt is an excellent solution for improving mobility support while promoting safer manual handling practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
