Shapes to you
Our unique Dimensional Gel Pads help maintain skin integrity and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.
Properties include airflow to keep the skin cool and dry, suppleness to contour exactly to the body for support and posture maintenance, and anti-sheer properties to prevent pressure ulcers from developing. Ideal for users weighing up to 40 Stone / 254 Kg.
Properties of Dimensional Gel
Keeps Skin Cool
Airflow Eliminates Moisture
Anti Shear and Friction
Keeps Users Cool
Spreads the Load
Low-profile maintains posture
Flexes to body contours
Hypoallergenic
Easy to clean
Odourless & hypoallergenic
Latex, plasticiser and Isocyanate-free;
eliminating skin problems which can
contribute to pressure injurie.
Always soft
Our Dimensional Gel Pads remain soft
regardless of temperature and will not
harden in cold temperature. The gel
pads can also be put in a fridge or
freezer overnight to keep individuals
cool in their seating during the day,
especially beneficial if they get very
hot or have difficulty regulating their
body temperature.
Easy to cut to size
Dimensional Gel is Ideal for custom fitting -
will not leak if punctured. The gel pads can
be easily sealed with clear nail polish or
baby powder.
Adapt to body contours
Being a solid material our Gel will not migrate
away from bony prominences. This reduces
shear and friction forces on the skin. The gel
circular cells are also able to move 360 degrees
enabling them to move with the skin, massively
reducing the risk of shear and friction, especially
if the person is moving or sliding in their chair.
Hygiene friendly
Being medical grade, our Gel Pads are easily
cleaned in a mild detergent and sanitised in
mild bleach solution.
Create airflow
Due to their cellular design our Gel Pads
allow air circulation, minimising heat and
moisture build-up and consequently protect
the skin.
Maintain correct posture
Being low-profile in design yet fully load
bearing, the Dimensional Pads do not
disrupt the users seating posture, unlike
thicker pressure relief cushions. Our pads
naturally contour to any underlying surface
also encouraging a correct, healthy posture.
Made to Measure
As well as ‘off-the-shelf’ products, we provide a Made to Measure service, making Gel products to meet individual pressure care needs.
This is the perfect solution when a special product solution is required to overcome a specific issue and is how many of our product innovations begin life.
Combatting Pressure Ulcers
Gel Ovations Dimensional Pads are made of medical-grade silicone designed specifically to emulate the same protective physical characteristics of human fat tissue. The softness of the Gel stays unchanged at any temperature.
Cellular design allows for even pressure distribution, moulding to the body and contouring to any underlying surface. This attribute ensures that the Dimensional Pads work well with moulded and contoured seating.
The unique Dimensional Gel Pads help maintain skin integrity and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.
Properties include airflow to keep the skin cool and dry, suppleness to contour exactly to the body for support and posture maintenance, and anti-sheer properties to prevent pressure ulcers from developing.
Suitable for people weighing up to 40 stone / 260kg.

Preserving Posture
Unlike thick pressure cushioning, low-profile Dimensional Gel preserves seating height and positioning, avoiding imbalance and adverse posture issues.
These properties are shown below with photo A illustrating a client experiencing postural issues on thick pressure cushioning, compared to photo B, showing the neutral effect on the seating position of Gel Ovations low-profile silicone pads
“Rather than replacing Terry’s armchair to incorporate pressure care, I prescribed a Gel Ovations Dimensional Pad to meet his pressure care needs and maintain good posture. This was a cost effective and timely solution.”
