Use Instructions
When an individual is at risk in ambulating without assistance gait belts should be used. The gait belt should be placed around the waist and when the buckle is closed the gait belt should fit snugly but not too tight to introduce resident discomfort. The Delrin side release buckles are secured by inserting the male end of the buckle into the female side. To release the buckle, simultaneously press the tabs at the top and
bottom of the buckle. Before ambulating the resident make certain that the buckle is positioned out of reach of the resident. The resident should be ambulated by having the caregiver placing their hands through the
belt palms up and grasping the belt. Before ambulating the resident, it should be confirmed that the number of caregiver’s and their ability is sufficent for ambulation without introducing risk to either the caregiver or resident. The belt should be inspected before each use to assure that it isn’t defective.
