About UsAbout Us | Action Products
- - History
  - Trademarks
- Company Info
  
  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 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:
  
  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.
  
  Akton® polymer looks and feels like a gel but is more body friendly.
  
  The shear reducing qualities of the products are enhanced by the combination of the soft, flexible outer film and the tissue equivalent polymer.
  
  Top 3 Properties of Akton® polymer
  - The Load Bearing Capacity of the Akton® polymer helps prevent the development of pressure injuries. Distribution of the patient’s weight over the surface of the product helps minimize pressure points, decreasing the risk that a high-risk area will be negatively impacted.
  - Akton® polymer possesses memory and will always revert to its original shape.
  - Elasticity, the ultrasoft polymer combined with the flexible film surface, or “skin” of the products helps to minimize shear forces that can tear and damage skin integrity.

Pressure Injuries in Ambulatory Surgical Centers

An ambulatory surgical center (ASC) is a healthcare facility that focuses on providing same-day surgical care that includes diagnostic and preventative surgery. When looking at the ASC, it has transformed the outpatient surgical experience for millions of Americans by providing a more convenient surgical alternative. As much as 65% of all surgical cases performed take place in the outpatient ASC setting.
