3/8” (10mm) Large Flat Gel Sheets for Operating Tables
Pressure Redistribution Solutions for Operating Theatres & Clinical Environments
The Gel Ovations 3/8” (10mm) Large Flat Gel Sheets are designed to provide advanced pressure redistribution, patient positioning support, and skin protection during surgical procedures and prolonged clinical positioning. Developed for use on operating tables, theatre surfaces, and clinical support platforms, these large silicone gel sheets help reduce pressure concentration on vulnerable anatomical areas while supporting patient comfort and tissue integrity throughout surgical procedures.
Manufactured using high-quality medical-grade silicone gel, the FlatGel Sheets conform closely to the patient’s body shape to improve immersion and pressure redistribution while helping reduce friction and shear forces associated with prolonged immobility in theatre environments. Their low-profile, flexible design allows them to be used across a wide range of surgical specialities and positioning requirements within NHS hospitals, private hospitals, and specialist surgical centres.
Designed for NHS Hospitals & Clinical Procurement
The Large Flat Gel Sheets are suitable for use in:
- NHS operating theatres
- Day surgery units
- Intensive care environments
- Recovery wards
- Radiology departments
- Patient positioning systems
- Surgical support surfaces
- Clinical pressure care protocols
They are commonly used to support pressure management strategies for patients undergoing prolonged surgical procedures where pressure injury prevention and tissue viability are a priority.
Pressure Care Benefits for Surgical Positioning
During extended surgical procedures, pressure concentration on bony prominences and vulnerable tissue can increase the risk of:
- Pressure ulcers
- Skin breakdown
- Tissue damage
- Friction and shear injuries
- Patient discomfort during recovery
The Gel Ovations Flat Gel Sheets help redistribute pressure evenly across the support surface while reducing localised pressure build-up around vulnerable areas such as:
- Heels
- Sacrum
- Shoulders
- Elbows
- Occipital region
- Hips and pelvis
Key Features & Benefits
- Advanced Pressure Redistribution – Helps reduce localised pressure concentration
- Medical-Grade Silicone Gel – Conforms to patient anatomy for improved immersion
