The DNC MEDTEX Handling belt is made for Patients requiring ambulation or transfer assistance. The handling belt is to provide caregivers with a secure hold point to assist patients during supervised walking and transfers. This belt is great for helping patients to stand up or sit down. It makes transferring an unstable patient from a bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to car seat or wheelchair to toilet much easier and safer. It also helps the caregiver by giving them more leverage points and takes a lot of the pressure off their backs compared to picking the patient up under their arms and raising them.
