In 1998, Polymer Concepts was born to supply high-end pressure relief Xcelgel™ pads and positioners to the Hospitals Operating Suites across the world. These pads help reduce interface pressure and shear forces during long surgical procedures.

Xcelgel’s™ excellent pressure reduction and shock absorbency characteristics have led to numerous additional applications including wheelchair seating, mattress overlays, surgical applications, race car and motorcycle seat padding, computer shock mounts and knee protectors. Another unique product is the HeelPleezr™, an effective method for preventing pressure sores of the heel for the bedridden.

Our small size and nature of the manufacturing process allow us to be quite flexible in developing custom designs. Xcelgel™ can be combined with other cushioning materials, such as foams, to meet specific industrial, medical and consumer needs.

Due to consumer demands, we now offer Multiple Varieties of Gel Formulas for different applications.
