The demands on healthcare professionals have never been greater – with heavier patients, longer transports, more demanding patients, and an expectation to perform with fewer staff.
Recent studies indicate that the EU will be facing a shortage of healthcare workers of at least 590,000 by 2020, due in part, to the rise in back injuries among nurses. Since its founding in 1941, STRYKER has been rooted in innovation, developing products with the patient and caregiver in mind. The company continues to develop products that help prevent adverse events such as pressure ulcers and help empower caregivers to reduce the risk of back injury, while undertaking repetitive patient handling tasks.
