Dimensional Gel Shin Pads for Stand Aids

Dimensional Gel Shin Pads for Stand Aids

Gel Ovations Stand Aid Pads are designed to provide essential pressure care protection for the shin and knee areas during standing transfers. Supplied as a pair, these high-quality pads feature a 1/2 inch Dimensional Gel core encased in a durable neoprene cover, helping to cushion vulnerable areas and improve comfort for users of stand aids.
During standing transfers, the skin over the shins and knees is particularly at risk. These areas are naturally more vulnerable because the skin is thinner, there is very little fatty tissue for protection, and body weight is transferred through relatively small contact points. This can concentrate pressure and increase the risk of discomfort, friction, shear and pressure injury.

The Dimensional Gel in Gel Ovations Stand Aid Pads helps to spread the load more evenly, providing additional cushioning while also offering a naturally cool surface. This helps reduce shear and friction, two key contributors to pressure damage. Both the gel core and the neoprene outer cover are waterproof, making the pads easy to wipe clean, sanitise and maintain.

The pads are securely fixed in place using a Velcro base, with heavy-duty stick-on Velcro also supplied for firm and simple attachment.

Gel Ovations manufacture Stand Aid Pads for all makes of stand aid.

The standard size is 8 x 6” (200 x 150mm), but because stand aid knee and shin supports can vary, we recommend measuring the supports on your equipment before ordering.

Gel Ovations Stand Aid Pads are specialist pressure care accessories designed to add extra cushioning and protection to the knee and shin supports of standing aids. They are used to help protect vulnerable skin during standing transfers, where the user’s lower legs are in direct contact with the stand aid support pads.

Each pad contains a 1/2 inch Dimensional Gel core, enclosed in a durable neoprene cover, creating a soft, supportive and easy-clean surface. The pads are supplied in pairs and are designed to be secured firmly in position using heavy-duty Velcro.

During a standing transfer, the shin and knee areas can be exposed to concentrated pressure. This is because the user’s body weight may be transferred through a relatively small contact area on the stand aid. The skin over the knees and shins is also naturally more vulnerable, as there is very little soft tissue padding over the bone.

For people with fragile skin, reduced mobility, poor circulation, reduced sensation, or a higher risk of pressure damage, additional protection can make standing transfers more comfortable and help reduce avoidable pressure, friction and shear.

Dimensional Gel is used because it offers a combination of cushioning, load distribution and comfort. The gel helps spread pressure across a wider area, rather than allowing force to be concentrated through a hard or narrow contact point.

The flexible gel structure also helps reduce friction and shear at the contact surface. These are important considerations in pressure care, particularly for users who spend long periods seated, have delicate skin, or require repeated assisted transfers.

The gel also has an inherently cool feel, helping to improve comfort during use.

Gel Ovations manufacture Stand Aid Pads for all makes and models of stand aid. The standard SAP86 pad size is 8 x 6 inches / 200 x 150mm, but stand aid knee supports vary in size, shape and design.

For the best fit, we recommend measuring the existing knee or shin support pads on your stand aid before ordering. Where a different size is required, simply select the Made to Measure option and enter the dimensions of your equipment.

This helps ensure the pads fit neatly and securely to the stand aid, without interfering with normal use.

The pads are designed for simple and secure fitting using a Velcro base. Heavy-duty stick-on Velcro is also supplied, allowing the pads to be attached firmly to the stand aid support area.

The Velcro fixing allows the pads to be removed when required for cleaning, inspection or replacement, while keeping them stable during normal use.

Both the inner Dimensional Gel core and the neoprene cover are waterproof and easy to wipe clean. This makes the pads suitable for care environments where regular cleaning and infection control procedures are important.

The pads can be cleaned and sanitised between users or as part of routine equipment maintenance.

Because stand aids vary widely between manufacturers, Gel Ovations can produce Stand Aid Pads to suit different support sizes. The standard pads measure 8 x 6 inches, but custom dimensions can be requested.

To order a made-to-measure option, measure the knee or shin support area of the stand aid and enter the required size using the Made to Measure button on this page.
