TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT PRESSURE INJURIES

 

Head and Neck

 

All surgical positions must provide stability and support of the critical head and neck area. Special attention is needed to protect the occipital area and to prevent overextension or improper alignment of the neck. This is accomplished by right sizing the head pads for the various sized patients and is necessary to prevent pressure injuries and achieve positive surgical outcomes.

Action’s large selection of head pads in varying heights, widths, and shapes meets the unique needs of each surgical position and a diverse patient population from neo-nates to bariatric.

AKTON Polymer

The ultra-soft polymer combined with the soft, flexible surface of our pads allows the product to move with the patient, reducing negative effects of shear on fragile skin. In addition, the Akton® polymer distributes weight and dissipates heat; lowering the risk of high-pressure points and hot spot development that can lead to pressure injuries. These benefits combined enhance patient protection.

Impervious to Fluids

Our reusable pads and positioners are impervious to fluids and will not support bacterial growth. They do not leak or flow if punctured, and are easy to clean and maintain.
