The CanDo® Padded Transfer Belt is a patient handling accessory designed to improve safety and control during assisted transfers and mobility tasks. Suitable for use in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, aged care environments and home care, it helps caregivers support patients while reducing the risk of slips during transfers between beds, chairs, wheelchairs or while assisting with walking.
Unlike a standard webbing gait belt, this model incorporates a wide padded section that improves patient comfort during assisted movement. The padding helps distribute pressure more evenly around the waist, making transfers more comfortable while maintaining stability for the caregiver. Four integrated handle loops are positioned around the belt to provide multiple secure gripping points, allowing carers to choose the safest position based on the transfer technique being used.
The auto buckle offers quick fastening and secure adjustment, helping streamline patient handling in busy clinical environments. The belt is also colour-coded by size, allowing rehabilitation departments to identify the correct size quickly and improve workflow efficiency. Designed for patients with a waist size of 60-76 cm, this small transfer belt provides dependable assistance while promoting patient dignity and caregiver confidence during everyday mobility support.
