Silipos Gel Tubing
Soft gel lined tubing designed to reduce friction and pressure on fingers or toes while supporting skin protection and comfort during daily activity.
Silipos Gel Tubing provides circumferential cushioning for digits requiring protection from pressure, shear, or repetitive contact. It is commonly used by hand therapists and occupational therapists to support management of sensitive skin, scarring, digital deformities, and areas prone to irritation.
The tubing features a soft gel lining bonded to a flexible fabric exterior, allowing it to conform comfortably to the digit while maintaining durability and breathability. It can be cut to custom lengths to suit individual clinical needs, making it suitable for both therapist application and patient self management. Its low profile design allows use within splints, gloves, or footwear without bulk.
