Action® brand surgical patient positioners are designed to distribute pressure, reduce shear forces and provide stable support in prone position, lateral position, and supine position while aligning with AORN evidence-based guidelines for patient safety.

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, 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 combined benefits enhance patient protection.
