Carrying
Out Our Mission
In carrying out our core mission, we concentrate on products for the medical
market. These include:
These products are unrivaled in reducing the development of decubitus ulcers,
or pressure sores. They form when people lie or sit for extended periods on
operating tables, beds, or wheelchairs.
Decubitus ulcers are serious tissue traumas that can penetrate through skin
and muscle to the bone. Prevention of pressure ulcers will help patients avoid
needless pain, suffering and, in the worst cases, death.
AKTON® Soft
Dry Polymer
The key element in our products is a space age material called
AKTON® Polymer.
It was invented in 1970 by W. R. McElroy, Ph. D., our co-founder.
AKTON polymer is the primary material in all of our products.
It is what
separates us from
the competition.
No one has AKTON polymer but us, and it is a wondrous material. It looks and
feels like a gel, but is more body friendly. It also carries a longer warranty.
We once parked a full-sized car on it and moved the wheels. It didn't bottom
out or tear, it has memory!
Clinical Proof
But don't take our word for it. Read what the medical community has to say
about our products. You can do so on our White Papers page.
These studies prove that AKTON polymer works to reduce the development of pressure
sores. It works better than the gels, foam, water, or air products on the market
today. We're proud of that, and we're working hard to improve our products
even more.
