Graham-Field Basic American Zenith 9100 Long-Term Care Bed – Full-Electric Institutional Hi-Low Bed with Advanced Positioning

Graham-Field Basic American Zenith 9100: Advanced Clinical Positioning and Patient Safety System for Long-Term Care

Optimizing resident safety, caregiver ergonomics, and clinical positioning flexibility in long-term care (LTC), skilled nursing, and rehabilitation environments requires specialized patient-handling infrastructure. Standard homecare beds often lack the motor synchronization, bariatric capacity, and macro-adjustability needed for highly dependent residents. The Graham-Field Basic American Zenith 9100 Full-Electric Hi-Low Bed resolves these institutional vulnerabilities by integrating premium digital electronics and an uncompromised structural frame that supports variable-width and multi-angle therapeutic positioning profiles.

This industrial-grade medical bed features an Advanced Positioning System (APS) that provides multi-functional travel, including Trendelenburg, Reverse Trendelenburg, and a synchronized auto-contouring Cardiac Chair position. By bringing specialized positions standard, the Zenith 9100 eliminates the prohibitive upgrade costs typically associated with high-acuity patient care setups. Driven by four synchronized low-voltage DC motors, the frame transitions silently from an ultra-low 7 inches (to mitigate patient fall injuries) up to an ergonomic working height of 30 inches, protecting staff from acute musculoskeletal strain during daily care routines.

Key Benefits:

• Advanced Ergonomic Travel Range: Adjusts dynamically from a low floor height of 7 inches to an upper clearance of 30 inches to balance resident fall protection with comfortable caregiver handling zones.
• Synchronized 4-Motor System: Features four independent, low-voltage DC motors that actively synchronize to maintain a perfectly level mattress surface during structural height adjustments.
• Standard Clinical Positions: Equipped with native Trendelenburg, Reverse Trendelenburg, and an automated contouring Cardiac Chair mode to optimize pulmonary function and vascular pressure distribution.
• Patent-Awarded Sealed Framework: Encloses the mechanical Hi-Low hardware inside structural mainframe tubes, stopping the infiltration of fluids and preventing the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria.
• SilverSolutions Antimicrobial Coating: Treated with a specialized silver-ion powder coating that continuously deters bacterial proliferation on touch-surface frame zones.
• Slide-W-I-D-E Adjustable Sleep Deck: Provides integrated tool-free expanding width capabilities to rapidly adjust the sleeping surface between 35, 39, and 42 inches to match variable resident bariatric profiles.
• Intuitive 2-Pedal Floor Locking System: Employs a centrally located, high-visibility 2-pedal mechanism that locks the bed frame securely to the floor across all height configurations for absolute stationary safety.
