Protekt Pressure Relief & Support Surfaces

For anyone caring for a bedridden patient or managing their own limited mobility, the constant worry is pressure — the kind that builds over hours of lying in one position and quietly breaks down skin. Protekt builds practical, affordable products aimed squarely at that problem: cushioning surfaces and mattress protection that help redistribute pressure, guard against moisture, and make long hours in bed more comfortable.

The Protekt Serenity Gel Overlay sits at the heart of this collection. Measuring 34 x 78 x 3-1/2 inches with a nylon/urethane cover over a combined foam-and-gel core, it lays directly on top of an existing mattress to add a redistributing layer without the cost of a full therapeutic mattress. The foam gives support while the gel spreads weight away from bony prominences — heels, hips, sacrum — where pressure injuries most often start. The cover material is chosen to resist fluids and wipe clean, which matters in any care setting.

Protecting the surface underneath is just as important. The Protekt Mattress Cover (36 x 80 x 6 inches) fully encases a standard mattress to shield it from incontinence, spills, and general soiling, keeping the mattress hygienic and extending its life. For repair and setup needs, the Tube Assembly (78000) is available as a replacement component to keep inflatable support systems working as intended.

When choosing among these, think about what layer of protection you need: an overlay adds comfort and pressure relief on top, a cover defends the mattress from the outside, and replacement parts keep existing equipment running. Many caregivers use them together.
