Safer patient handling

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 care provider.

Stryker makes products that not only care for patients, but use ergonomic design and exclusive features to help reduce the effort and risk involved – an approach called BackSmart.

Slopes and ramps can present a huge challenge to nursing and portering staff transporting patients between buildings. Customers are discovering Stryker’s new powered Zoom trolley helps make pushing a patient weighing up to 50 st in weight, up a slope, virtually effortless and descents safe and easy.
