AKTON: A medical material for equestrian sport
Behind AKTON is a viscoelastic polymer developed by Action Products of Hagerstown, Maryland. The company was founded in 1970 by Dr W. R. McElroy. The material is mainly used where pressure needs to be relieved, for example in positioning pads for operating tables and in wheelchair cushions. Under load it gives way, adapts to the shape and spreads the pressure over a larger area.
AKTON at Agrarzone
For riders there is the AKTON standard pad with cover, which is used under the saddle. To keep it hygienic for longer, you will also find matching replacement covers for the all-round pad and the Back Pad. That way you only change the cover when it is worn or dirty and keep the polymer core. The range suits leisure and competition riders who want even pressure distribution under the saddle.
Frequently asked questions

What is an AKTON pad made of?
The core is made of AKTON polymer, a viscoelastic material that adapts to the shape it rests on. A cover protects the material and gives it a pleasant surface.
