    Description

    The Akton® can be easily trimmed to shape with sharp scissors and sealed with cellophane tape, platilon or dusted with talcum powder. Ideal for use in customised devices.

    Specifically created to reduce the risk of skin, and nerve damage caused by prolonged sitting, reclining or laying down. This tissue-like dry polymer assists in reducing shear and evenly distributing pressure – two of the main contributing factors leading to tissue breakdown.This material is, in simpler terms, an ultra soft synthetic rubber which acts like a fluid giving uniform support, yet is a coherent soft solid, which does not bottom out.

    With its gentle spring-like resilience and soft, easy stretching ability, Akton® quickly adjusts to the shape of any body surface it contacts, intensive pressure points are reduced and the material returns and permanently holds its original shape when not under load. It won’t flow, become lumpy, distorted or leak if the pad is punctured.
