Gel Knee Protector Buttons – Swing Away Leg Rests

The Gel Ovations Gel Knee Protector Buttons are designed to provide pressure-relieving cushioning and skin protection for wheelchair users with swing-away leg rests. Hard leg rest hardware and side supports can create pressure, friction, and discomfort around the knees during prolonged wheelchair use, particularly for users with fragile skin or pressure care needs.

The gel cushioning helps redistribute pressure while reducing friction and shear on vulnerable knee areas, improving comfort and helping protect the skin from contact with hard wheelchair components. Designed for swing-away leg rests, the pads provide practical knee protection for everyday wheelchair seating and positioning support.
