…We are able to assist patients to stand with minimal effort and control them while standing. but, the best testimonies come from the patients…these folks have made remarks as to how easy it was to stand while we were using your belts, but their final comments were “Why haven’t you been using it before”. As I see it, they are your biggest fans.

Recommended Doty Belt Options for Physical Therapy Departments and Patient Transfer Support Staff

The Pro Model Doty Belt is often chosen for these environments, where there is sufficient time between each use for cleaning in a washing machine or PPE extractor.  In departments that see a high patient load each day, the Medical Model may be useful because it can be cleaned and returned to service quickly using sanitizing wipes.
Pro Model
The Pro Model (as well as the Medical Model) offers adjustable leg straps to provide controlled stability and leverage during gait training or assisted transfers.  This design helps reduce fall risk while ensuring patients stay mobile and confident. Its ergonomic, easy-to-clean design supports both safe fall prevention and caregiver body mechanics during physical therapy sessions and transfers.
 
Doty Belt Pro Model Sets
Departments serving a diverse sized patient population can buy a set and save money compared to purchasing individual Doty Belts. These are available as 2, 3, or 4 belt sets, with sizes from Small to Extra Large.
