Pressure Relief & Protection for Shower Chair Footrests
The Gel Footrest Overlay – One Piece is specifically designed to improve comfort and protect vulnerable skin when using Osprey shower chairs. Hard footplates can create high-pressure contact points, increasing the risk of discomfort, skin damage, and pressure-related injuries—particularly for patients with limited mobility or fragile skin.
This one-piece gel overlay made with Dimensional Gel provides a soft, supportive surface that cushions the feet and redistributes pressure evenly, helping to reduce friction, shear, and direct contact with hard surfaces during bathing.
Designed for Clinical Use
Ideal for use in hospitals, care homes, and community settings, this overlay supports safer, more comfortable bathing routines. It is particularly beneficial for patients who:
- Are at risk of pressure ulcers
- Experience foot discomfort during seated bathing
- Have reduced sensation or circulation
- Require extended periods in a shower chair
