Description

Designed for the ultimate in walker comfort and skin protection! Gel Walker Handle Covers can aid in healing existing sores and/or abrasions.

Pair of 5 inch long Gel Walker Hand pads for U shaped walkers. They fit over the side tubes of all brands of traditional walkers. The pads are OPEN at both ends and are applied over the existing hand grips. These are for walkers that have a mostly straight circular grip like found on bicycles and U shaped walkers. Regardless of the covering on the hand grip - they Velcro® over the existing grip.

These covers are NOT for use on walkers (rollators) with the wide and unusually shaped orthotic grips.

The cover is a chloroprene rubber with a nylon surface, similar to wet suit material. Inside is open cell foam and a polyurethane solid GEL. It is referred to as a ‘SOLID GEL’ and will not leak out.

Gel Ovations ™ products incorporate a latex-free, solid GEL and have a durable neoprene nylon surface, which is soft, easy to clean, and highly efficient at distributing pressure. They protect bony prominences and reduce abrasions, shear, and harmful pressure-related problems.

Do NOT put pads/covers in a washing machine.
Do NOT submerge them in water or agitate.
Do NOT put in clothes dryer.

With HEATED DRYING turned OFF, you may wash them in the top rack of an automatic dishwasher. Alternatively, wipe the surface with any normal household soap or cleaning solution that is not irritating and to which you are not allergic.

Customer Reviews

	A sure bet
	I've now given these gel grips to four different friends who have found themselves using walkers - and whether old or young, strong or feeble, they all love these things. They cushion the unyielding walker handles and help prevent callous formation - and everyone says they're comfy. I just know they're made an appreciable positive difference for my friends.

	Not so great
	I bought the gel grips. They were very tight to put on even though I had the proper grip size. They felt good the first time I used them but they have kept the palm imprint since then. They do not rebound and go back to original shape. Not comfortable now.
