At Smithers Medical Products, Inc., our patented forms and foaming agents are designed to give the highest quality medical treatment to your patients. Our foam comforts the patient while holding them safely and comfortably in the designated set-up position.
You can immobilize a patient and easily duplicate the set-up position daily. Laser marks are easily applied to the blue bags containing the form. These forms always give you a flat base, unlike vac bags, which do not have a flat base at all.
Genuine Alpha Cradle brand foam never burns your patient, does not contain harmful levels of MDI or TDI vapors, and is safe for the environment, unlike other harsh knock-off products that have NOT been tested for toxicology.
Make the Form You Need, on the Device You Use™
In this post COVID-19 environment, it is no longer an option to re-use vac bags that can transmit viruses to your immunocompromised patients! True customized anatomical forms offer the best protection and treatment. SEE SAFETY INFO.
Vac bags aren’t any better than using a towel. With a base that is never flat, they do not immobilize. When they are being created, they pull away from the patient.
Vac bags are not sterilized between patients; they’re simply wiped off. They do not immobilize or reposition accurately, and may endanger immunocompromised patients. These bags can leak air, causing a pause in treatment and the need to prepare a new form, forcing you to re-simulate.
