The comfort and security of STRYKER’s hospital beds, theatre trolleys and patient stretchers have helped make the company an industry leader in patient handling equipment.
However, long transports and heavy patients can all increase the risk of back and shoulder injury for the caregiver. Stryker makes products that not only help you care for patients, but uses ergonomic design and exclusive features to help reduce the risk and effort involved – an approach called BackSmart. Slopes and ramps can present a huge challenge to nursing and portering staff who are transporting patients between buildings. Customers are discovering Stryker’s powered Zoom trolley helps make pushing a patient weighing up to 50 st up a slope virtually effortless, and descents safe and easy.
