Medline Bed Extension Kit for Alterra Hospital Beds - 42" Wide with Mattress Retainers & Hardware

Premium Bed Extension Kit for Enhanced Patient Comfort and Safety

This professional-grade bed extension kit delivers comprehensive solutions for maximizing patient comfort and extending the functional length of Alterra hospital beds. Engineered with precision-fit compatibility and equipped with all necessary mounting hardware for straightforward installation, this extension system transforms standard beds into extended-length configurations while maintaining structural integrity and safety standards required in healthcare facilities.

Complete Installation System with Anti-Slip Technology

The kit features integrated mattress retention technology specifically designed to prevent mattress migration during patient movement, repositioning, and daily care activities. The robust retainer system creates a secure barrier that keeps the mattress properly aligned on the extended bed frame, reducing the risk of gaps that could compromise patient safety or comfort. This anti-slip design is particularly valuable in long-term care settings where patients spend extended periods in bed and require consistent support surfaces.
