      Company Infofounder

      Action Products, Inc.was founded in 1970 by Dr. McElroy. His pursuit to develop a pressure relieving material, that would help prevent pressure sores in immobilized patients, has spurred a worldwide revolution in the pressure management industry. In its third generation of family ownership and management, Action has flourished as a global medical company operating in 58 countries.

      Akton® Polymer

      The key element in our products is an exclusive material called AKTON® Viscoelastic polymer. 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 does not leak, flow or bottom out. The best part is that it is repairable! The film is tissue equivalent, and together with the polymer, creates the most shear resistant product on the market today.

      Since it is reusable, it helps environmentally, economically, and clinically. The perfect package.

      Clinical Proof

      Read what the medical community has to say about our products: White Papers  These studies prove that AKTON polymer works to reduce the development of pressure sores. We're proud of that, and our engineers continuously work to improve and expand our product line

      We also have a Operating Room Nurse Advice Line, open for you to ask us questions and give you recommendations based on AORN guidelines.

      Custom Products

      Our company has grown by providing our customers with exactly what they want and need. If you do not see what you're looking for, contact us with your custom ideas. Our complex customized products separate us from our competitors.

      Commitment to Education

      Action Products, Inc., over the past 40 years has provided education on the importance of preventing pressure injuries. It is our passion, therefore we have created a free CE(coming soon), in-services to hospitals, sponsoring AORN activities and our company blog.

      Patient Positioners and Support Surfaces


      Every year, hospital facilities spend an estimated $26.8 billion dollars treating hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) and their related complications. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid consider HAPIs to be "never events" and in 2008 eliminated reimbursement for costs associated with them. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, HAPIs have continued to increase, therefore, adding additional expenses to healthcare systems.

      For over 50 years, Action Products has designed and manufactured clinically-engineered patient positioners and support surfaces that help protect your patients against pressure injuries. Our products provide pressure relief and shear reduction in a variety of surgical settings including preoperative, perioperative and postoperative.

      From pediatrics to bariatrics, our proprietary Akton® viscoelastic polymer has revolutionized the positioning market because of its unique attributes:

      • Does not support bacterial growth
      • Distributes weight and heat evenly
      • Easy to clean and maintain
      • Does not leak, flow or absorb fluids
      • Does not bottom out under heavy loads
      • Is easy to use, maintain and clean
      • Soft, flexible skin moves easily with the patient minimizing shear
      • Easily repairable
      • Reusable
      • Radiolucent
      • Self-extinguishing
      • Clinically effective
      • Budget friendly
      • Proudly made in the USA
      • Reduces hospital disposable waste

Preventing OR Specimen Errors

Operating Room Specimen Errors can be devastating as it can affect the patient diagnosis, treatment and outcome.  Imagine having the correct diagnosis given to the wrong patient, or a diagnosis that never makes it to the patient because the specimen is lost! How about those mislabeled specimens, labeled left when it should be right or right when it should be left?  Worse than that, how about the retained specimen that never makes it to the lab because it was “forgotten” to be removed?

Get Ready for World-Wide Pressure Injury Prevention Day 2020!

As we partner with colleagues across the nation in preparation for NPIAP’s World Wide Pressure Injury Prevention day on November 19th, we are presented with an opportunity to reflect and evaluate the changes we have made to improve our patients’ pressure injury outcomes.  The hard work that has been done and the great outcomes that have been achieved, are triumphs that deserve to be celebrated and shared.  Whereas, the poor outcomes need to be evaluated and opportunities identified to implement evidence-based changes for improvement.
