Ergodyne 18442 ProFlex 342 Injected Gel Knee Pads personal protective equipment

Knee protection for extended kneeling

These Ergodyne ProFlex 342 knee pads combine an injected gel core with PU foam to cushion the joint during long periods on hard surfaces. An extra-long rubber cap spreads pressure and resists slipping on smooth or rough floors. A perforated neoprene upper strap and elastic lower strap hold the pad in place without cutting off circulation. Sold as a pair in a one-size-fits-most design.

Who benefits and who needs a different solution

Tradespeople, installers and maintenance staff who kneel for hours on concrete, tile or metal grating will appreciate the broad cap and gel layer. Workers who need a low-profile pad for tight crawl spaces or who prefer a hard-shell design without gel should consider other styles. Anyone requiring certified impact ratings beyond the listed patent status should verify compliance separately.

Extra-long cap with injected gel

The defining feature is the extended non-slip rubber cap that covers both knee and upper shin, paired with an injected gel and PU foam core. This combination delivers maximum contact area and all-day comfort for heavy-duty kneeling tasks. The patented design is sold as a single pair in black.
