Adjustable Forehead Stabiliser

The Gel Ovations Adjustable Forehead Stabiliser is a specialist head positioning system designed to provide comfortable, secure and highly adjustable forehead support for individuals with reduced head control or cranial instability.

Designed for use with manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and compatible shower chairs, the stabiliser helps maintain the position of the head and neck while supporting improved posture, vision, communication and overall comfort.

The multi-positional design allows the support to be adjusted to suit the individual user, making it particularly valuable within specialist seating and complex postural management. A quick-release swing-away mechanism allows the forehead support to be moved away when required for transfers, personal care or repositioning, before being returned to the required position.

Dimensional Gel Forehead Support

Comfort at the point of contact is particularly important when providing forehead support. The stabiliser incorporates Gel Ovations Dimensional Gel padding to provide a soft and supportive interface against the forehead.

Dimensional Gel helps distribute pressure across the contact area while accommodating small movements of the head. Its flexible structure also helps reduce friction and shear, making it particularly suitable where skin protection and prolonged comfort are important considerations.

Multi-Positional Head Support

Every user’s positioning requirements are different. The Adjustable Forehead Stabiliser provides multiple adjustment possibilities, allowing the position and angle of the forehead pad to be configured around the individual’s requirements.

This versatility makes it suitable for users who require additional assistance maintaining a functional head position as part of their wheelchair or specialist seating system.

The stabiliser can help support:

• Head and neck positioning
• Cranial stability
• Postural management
• Forward-facing head position
• Visual orientation
• Communication and interaction
• Comfort during prolonged seating

Quick-Release Swing-Away Design

The quick-release swing-away function makes the stabiliser practical for everyday use.

The forehead support can be moved away from the user when additional access is required, helping with transfers, repositioning and personal care. It can then be returned to the required position to restore the user’s head support.

This combination of adjustability and accessibility makes the system practical for both the wheelchair user and those providing assistance.

Compatibility

The Adjustable Forehead Stabiliser can be configured for use with many makes of manual and powered wheelchairs and shower chairs.

It can be supplied as the stabiliser hardware and forehead pad or combined with a choice of Gel Ovations Gel Headrests.

Adaptor options are also available for selected third-party headrests, including systems using 1″ (25mm) and ¾” (19mm) ball fittings.
