Product Detail

A transformation that brings the Alpha to a whole new level in healthcare beds!

The new Alpha II has been redesigned to offer everything you have come to expect from the Alpha and now with a fresh new appealing look. The Alpha which features many positions such as Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg is ideal for many healthcare facilities. This product evolution shows Basic American’s commitment to precise engineering with the resident quality of care and caregiver in mind.

The Alpha II offers a broad travel range – from 8.9" low height for resident safety to 30" high height for caregiver convenience. The low height allows residents to get in and out of bed easier while also reducing the risk of injury from a fall. With a low height, the need for restraints is less. The high height adjustment helps caregivers assist residents when transferring in and out of bed. Caregivers can also benefit from high height by aiding residents with eating, dressing and other daily activities. The highest position also provides caregivers with a safe working environment which helps reduce back injuries and strains.
