Aeromesh Rapid Dry Bath Belt

The Aeromesh Rapid Dry Bath Belt is a manual handling belt designed to give carers a secure hold on a patient during bathing, showering and toileting transfers, when wet skin and slippery surfaces make traditional gait belts or manual lifting techniques riskier for both patient and carer. Constructed from an open, breathable mesh fabric, the belt is built to get wet without becoming waterlogged or heavy, and it dries rapidly once bathing is finished, which helps prevent the growth of bacteria or mould that can occur with belts made from solid, absorbent materials. The belt wraps around the patient's waist or hips and typically fastens with a secure buckle, giving the carer sturdy handles or a firm grip point to assist with standing, pivoting, sitting or short-distance transfers in bathrooms, over showers or around commodes. Because it is designed specifically for wet environments, it complements other bathroom manual handling equipment such as shower chairs, commodes and grab rails, forming part of a safer overall bathing routine that reduces the risk of falls and manual handling injuries to care staff. It is easy to wipe down and hang dry between uses, supporting good infection control practices in shared care environments such as aged care facilities, hospitals and home care settings.
