Frequently Asked Questions

How do I disinfect this gait belt?
The Pathoshield gait belt can be disinfected using spray or wipe-on disinfectant applied directly to the liquid-proof plastic-coated webbing. The sealed, no-stitch construction prevents disinfectant from penetrating the material and allows the surface to be wiped clean between patient uses. Follow your facility's infection control protocol for contact time and disinfectant selection.

What does the safety cover plate on the buckle do?
The safety cover plate covers the quick-release buckle mechanism to prevent accidental opening during patient transfers. The cover plate must be lifted before the buckle can be released, providing an additional layer of security during use.

Is this belt machine washable?
The Pathoshield is designed for wipe-on or spray disinfection rather than machine washing. The liquid-proof, sealed construction is intended for surface disinfection between uses. Refer to the product instructions for specific care guidance.
