Managing Positional Pain With Action® Pressure Relief Products

Exclusively available in the UK from Central Medical Supplies (CMS), the Action® range of pressure relief products can be used to help manage positional pain during interventional computed tomography (CT) procedures.

Positional pain is a common complaint of patients spending lengthy times on the interventional CT table. Patients undergoing interventional CT guided procedures frequently complain about the hardness of the table and the discomfort from their position during the procedure.  These patients are often given moderate sedation to control procedural pain but positional pain is not always alleviated.1

With proper cushioning, positional pain can be managed during interventional CT procedures with no recognised impact on image quality.  Gel pads support the patient evenly across the horizontal plane on which the patient is lying.  By using a gel pad for interventional CT table comfort, the patient who does not receive moderate sedation or who has positional pain will be better managed.1

Action Products is a pioneer in reusable pads and positioning products and its pressure relief products help to prevent pressure sores. The ACTION range includes table overlays, head pads, heel protectors and chest rolls.

Action Products uses its proprietary Akton® viscoelastic polymer for its pressure ulcer prevention products. This unique AKTON polymer is designed to reduce pressure, mitigate shear forces and is clinically proven to help reduce the risk of pressure injuries.  AKTON polymer is reusable and cost effective, does not support bacterial growth and is not made with natural rubber latex. It is hypo-allergenic and will not leak or flow if punctured.
