Gel Overlay Pad
A gel overlay pad rests on top of your existing mattress to redistribute pressure and improve comfort for those who spend extended time in bed. Gel and foam construction cushions bony areas like hips, shoulders, and heels—helping to prevent pressure injuries before they start. The overlay works with both standard and hospital bed mattresses, adding a layer of protection without replacing your current setup. It's a simple upgrade that makes long hours in bed safer and more comfortable.
Medicare will cover the cost of a PureWick for eligible female patients.
We'll handle the insurance and ship a PureWick right to your door if you qualify.

Is a gel overlay pad covered by Medicare or Medicaid?
Gel overlay pads are generally covered by Medicare part B and most Medicaid plans. Note that coverage varies by state and clinical need, we'll confirm your coverage and eligibility before your order is finalized.
Will the overlay fit my hospital bed?
Yes. Standard overlays are sized to fit hospital bed mattresses, and other sizes are available for home mattresses. A clinician will confirm the right fit.
How does a gel overlay help prevent pressure injuries?
The gel and foam surface spreads body weight across a wider area, reducing sustained pressure on vulnerable spots like the hips, tailbone, and heels.
How do I clean the overlay?
Wipe the surface with mild soap and water or a disinfectant safe for vinyl, then air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the cover.
Do I need special sheets?
No. A standard fitted sheet works over the overlay—just avoid pulling it so tight that it compresses the gel surface.

Real People. Real relief.
You got me that walker in time for my grandson’s wedding. I needed to walk down the aisle, and it was here in four days.
[My husband] has been buying these pads, pull ups and liners out of pocket for 10 years. Super expensive and we live paycheck to paycheck. Thank you very much!
I love the service you guys provide. You make our lives so much easier, not having to call doctors to get scripts.
I was spending hours on the phone with doctors and insurance about mom’s supplies. With Conduit Health, everything just shows up monthly now.
I think this company is wonderful. The products and customer service is fabulous. I have MS and they are truly helpful.
