TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT PRESSURE INJURIES

Arm, Elbow and Wrist

Action® brand arm, elbow, and wrist pads are specifically designed to prevent pressure injuries on the arm.

Surgical patients are susceptible to pressure injuries on their arms due to immobility, positioning, and individual factors throughout the surgical process.

Following best practices for pressure injury prevention, including the use of viscoelastic gel positioning devices, can significantly lower the occurrence of these injuries. These devices help distribute pressure and reduce risk to bony areas.

Selecting the appropriate arm, elbow, and wrist positioning device is crucial for protecting patients from pressure injuries, while also considering access to peripheral IV lines. Protecting arm areas like radial nerves and bony prominences is essential.

Action® Arm, Elbow, and Wrist Pads help safeguard patients’ biceps, elbows, forearms, and wrists.

AKTON Polymer

The ultrasoft 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 Overlays 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.
