Sealed gait belt delivers protection

BioPlastics - Genuine BioThane protected webbing

Potential for Never Events Reduced with BioSafe® Medical Straps

A patient in rehabilitation falls because the cloth gait belt isn't strong enough to support his unsteady pace; or he gets an infection because the nylon mattress straps on his hospital bed are difficult to clean. These Never Events are accidents in a health care institution that never should've happened, may cause serious harm to patients, are costly to remedy and aren't reimbursable by Medicaid or Medicare.


BioSafe® gait belts helped a leading medical supplier gain a competitive advantage and ultimately benefited both its customers and their patients. Learn more.


Using BioSafe® coated webbings can help reduce the occurrence of Never Events because they are:

  • strong enough to provide reliable support to patients
  • flexible for comfort
  • coated and sealed, making them easily cleaned and sanitized.
These attributes make BioSafe® products preferred among manufacturers and suppliers in the healthcare market.
