Moulded shower seating is hard and unforgiving, and for a client who is thin, bony or already showing redness over the sit bones, a long shower on a plastic seat is a pressure risk. This gel pad softens that surface without adding a surface that soaks up water.
The gel spreads load across the buttocks, so it does not concentrate under the ischial tuberosities. It sticks to the seat on a washable base, so it stays put through a transfer and still lifts off for cleaning.
It wipes clean, which suits a shared bathroom or a shower chair used by more than one person in a facility.
