I don't know what sort of gel it is, could be silicon though.

The pouch it's in is likely to be polyurethane.

Chances of repairing it with a puncture patch is probably close to absolute zero....

I would assume that you have to replace it, if it is silicone gel. And I would bet it is.

If silicone gel is not sealed inside a air/waterproof container, it absorbs moisture (even atmospheric moisture if it's kept physically dry) and turns rock-hard. There's no practical way to get the moisture out once it's in.
