HeelGel Pads
Medical-Grade Silicone Heel Pads for Surgical and Clinical Pressure Care
HeelGel Pads are silicone heel off-loading pads designed to protect vulnerable heels during prolonged bed rest, hospital care, surgery recovery and periods of reduced mobility. Their anatomically contoured U-shaped design supports the Achilles while elevating the heel away from the underlying surface, helping redistribute pressure and reduce friction and shear.
Manufactured from medical-grade silicone, HeelGel gently conforms to the natural anatomy of the foot and ankle. This anatomical design elevates the heel and off-loads pressure from high-risk areas, supporting effective pressure management during surgery, recovery, and routine patient care.
The silicone material provides consistent pressure relief while maintaining stability and comfort. HeelGel Pads help support correct lower-limb positioning and minimise shear forces and localised pressure, assisting in the prevention of pressure injuries and nerve compression.
A non-slip surface helps keep the heel securely positioned without the need for straps or complex fixation, allowing clinical staff to place and reposition the pads quickly and safely.
Silicone Heel Support for Surgery and Recovery
Heel protection can also be important during surgery and recovery, particularly where patients remain in one position for extended periods. HeelGel Pads provide medical-grade silicone support designed to cushion, elevate and off-load the heel.
They are suitable for use on hospital beds, operating tables and recovery trolleys, providing targeted heel protection while helping manage pressure, friction and shear around this vulnerable area.
Following surgery, HeelGel can also provide continued heel support where reduced mobility or prolonged bed rest increases the need for pressure care.
Suitable for Healthcare and Care Environments
HeelGel Pads are designed specifically for healthcare use and are compatible with standard hospital infection-control protocols. They are durable, easy to clean, and suitable for repeated use in:

Frequently Asked Questions
What are HeelGel Pads used for?
HeelGel Pads are medical-grade silicone heel supports designed to elevate the heel and reduce direct pressure on high-risk areas of the foot and ankle, helping to prevent pressure injuries and nerve compression in patients who may be immobile for extended periods.
What material are HeelGel Pads made from?
HeelGel Pads are manufactured from medical-grade silicone, which gently conforms to the natural anatomy of the foot and ankle while providing consistent pressure relief, stability, and comfort.
Where can HeelGel Pads be used?
HeelGel Pads are suitable for use on operating tables, hospital beds, home beds, changing tables, shower trolleys, and other clinical surfaces where heel off-loading and pressure protection are required.
How do HeelGel Pads help prevent pressure injuries?
By elevating the heel away from the supporting surface, HeelGel Pads reduce localised pressure and shear forces. The medical-grade silicone evenly distributes load, supporting pressure-injury prevention and skin integrity.
Are HeelGel Pads suitable for use during surgery?
Yes. HeelGel Pads are designed for use during surgical procedures and recovery. The medical-grade silicone provides stable support and effective pressure relief during prolonged periods of immobility.
Are HeelGel Pads easy to clean and disinfect?
Yes. HeelGel Pads are durable, easy to clean, and compatible with standard hospital infection-control protocols, making them suitable for repeated use in healthcare environments.
