What are Sunrise Q-Series & Invacare TDX Gel Footplate Covers?

Gel Footplate Covers are specialist wheelchair accessories designed to fit the footplates of Sunrise Q-Series and Invacare TDX powered wheelchairs. They provide additional cushioning to help reduce pressure, friction, and shear, improving comfort for wheelchair users during prolonged sitting.

Which wheelchair models are these footplate covers compatible with?

These footplate covers are specifically designed for Sunrise Q-Series and Invacare TDX powered wheelchairs. They are available in two sizes to accommodate different footplate configurations and provide a secure, comfortable fit.

Can these footplate covers help protect vulnerable skin?

Yes. By reducing pressure, friction, and shear, the footplate covers help protect delicate skin from irritation caused by prolonged contact with hard wheelchair footplates. They are particularly beneficial for users with reduced mobility or fragile skin.

Who would benefit from using gel footplate covers?

These footplate covers are ideal for wheelchair users with limited mobility, neurological conditions, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, poor circulation, or anyone who requires additional foot protection and pressure relief while seated.

Why do occupational therapists recommend gel footplate covers?

Occupational therapists often recommend gel footplate covers for wheelchair users who require improved pressure distribution, enhanced foot comfort, or additional skin protection. They can help reduce pressure on the feet, minimise friction and shear, and contribute to a more comfortable seating position, particularly for users who spend extended periods in their wheelchair.

The Sunrise Q-Series & Invacare TDX Gel Footplate Covers are available in two sizes: SFC1034 – 9" x 6" (24 cm x 15 cm) SFC1056 – 12" x 6.5" (30 cm x 17 cm) Both sizes are supplied as a pair.

Sunrise Q Series & Invacare TDX Gel Footplate Covers

The Gel Ovations Sunrise Q-Series & Invacare TDX Gel Footplate Covers are designed to provide superior pressure relief and comfort for wheelchair users by cushioning hard footplates and protecting vulnerable feet from pressure, friction, and shear. Specifically developed to fit Sunrise Q-Series and Invacare TDX powered wheelchairs, these specialist footplate covers help improve comfort during prolonged sitting while supporting good pressure care practice.

Manufactured using Cooling Gel, each footplate cover conforms to the shape of the user’s feet, helping to distribute pressure more evenly across the entire footplate. This reduces concentrated pressure points beneath the heels, toes, and forefoot, making the covers ideal for individuals with fragile skin, reduced sensation, neurological conditions, diabetes, or those at risk of pressure injuries.

Designed for healthcare professionals and everyday wheelchair users alike, these footplate covers offer a practical solution for improving comfort without affecting the normal operation of the wheelchair.

Why Use Gel Footplate Covers?

Wheelchair users often spend many hours each day with their feet resting on rigid metal or plastic footplates. Without additional cushioning, these surfaces can create pressure points that lead to discomfort and increase the risk of skin damage, particularly for individuals with limited mobility or reduced sensation.

Gel Ovations Footplate Covers create a comfortable protective layer between the user’s feet and the wheelchair footplates. The unique Cooling Gel technology gently conforms to the contours of the feet, spreading pressure over a larger area while helping to minimise friction and shear.

By improving comfort and supporting pressure redistribution, these covers help make long periods of sitting more comfortable while contributing to a comprehensive pressure care programme.

Designed for Everyday Clinical Use

The covers are secured using durable Velcro fastenings, allowing them to be fitted or removed in minutes without modifying the wheelchair. Their robust, waterproof outer cover is easy to wipe clean, making them suitable for busy healthcare environments where hygiene and durability are essential.

Available in two sizes, they provide an excellent fit for compatible Sunrise Q-Series and Invacare TDX footplates while maintaining full functionality of the wheelchair.
