Low-profile silicone pads in a variety of thicknesses for versatile clinical applications
Gel Ovations Flat Silicone Gel Pads provide adaptable pressure redistribution in environments where build height, weight, and equipment tolerances must be carefully controlled. Their low-profile design allows protective cushioning to be introduced without significantly altering posture, seating geometry, or joint range of movement.
- Low profile promotes posture
- Prevents shear and friction
- Protects skin
- Easy to clean
- Improves pressure distribution
- Latex free
Clinical Performance and Application
Gel Ovations Flat Silicone Gel Pads provide adaptable pressure redistribution in environments where build height, weight, and equipment tolerances must be carefully controlled. Their low-profile design allows protective cushioning to be introduced without significantly altering posture, seating geometry, or joint range of movement.
Formulated to emulate the consistency of human adipose tissue, the gel helps disperse pressure while minimising the impact of shear, friction, moisture, and heat at the skin interface.
Available in multiple sizes, Flat Gel Pads integrate easily across seating, sleeping, changing tables, and specialist support systems. They are also integral to the Gel Ovations SlingGel system, supporting skin protection for sling hoist users.
Tightly locked together lies when seated or lying in bed are subject to shear, friction, heat and moisture, making them susceptible to pressure ulcers. In these circumstances, the low-profile Flt Gel Pads are inserted between arms and legs, providing a cushioning layer of protection.
Conditions where where FlatGel pads are used include
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Cerebral Palsy
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Multiple System Atrophy
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Cardiovascular disease
- Motor Neurone Disease
- Dementia
