Action Products

Action Products is a privately held U.S. medical device and equipment manufacturer focused on pressure injury prevention products for hospital and home-care settings. Founded in 1970 by Dr. W. R. McElroy, the company designs, manufactures, and sells Action-branded support surfaces, patient positioners, wheelchair cushions, mattress overlays, and related products built largely around its proprietary Akton viscoelastic polymer. Its products are used in operating rooms, rehabilitation, long-term care, and home medical environments to reduce pressure, shear, heat, and skin breakdown risk. The company also serves OEM and selected non-medical applications for Akton-based materials, and maintains ISO 13485 certification for medical device quality management. Action Products appears to be a commercial-stage medical products company rather than a therapeutics developer.
