Alpha Cradle products will keep you green!
Our Alpha Cradle® brand patient repositioning anatomical forms are made from expanded polystyrene (EPS). EPS is CFC free, and does not harm the environment.
Alpha Cradle forms are made from reprocessed EPS, are fully-recyclable, and can be completely dissolved in the recycling process using common citrus oils.
In fact, Smithers Medical Products, Inc. is 100% committed to protecting our environment. During our manufacturing process, we recycle all steel drums, shipping cardboard, glass, metals, and foam.
Used forms can be recycled at your nearest recycling center. By using our Alpha Cradle products, you can feel assured in knowing you are using production material that would have been discarded in a landfill, but is now reprocessed to make forms that help save the lives of cancer patients.
