OUR MATERIAL
Since it is reusable, it helps environmentally, economically, and clinically. The perfect package.
Our unique Akton® polymer is effective in helping to reduce pressure injuries and it is reusable which means it helps environmentally, economically, and clinically. In a recent survey, two-thirds of physicians felt the amount of surgical waste generated was excessive and increasing. 5 Our reusable patient positioners can help to reduce that waste.
AKTON polymer is a dry, viscoelastic polymer. Its proprietary formulation is exclusive to Action Products and is the hallmark material of our Action® brand products. Our unique polymer is an ultra-soft, solid rubber that has a tissue equivalent feel. It will not leak, flow, or bottom out if punctured.
