Stryker medical equipment

Stryk­er is an Amer­i­can com­pa­ny that has been devel­op­ing inno­v­a­tive solu­tions for dis­pos­able prod­ucts used in health­care since 1971. Over the years, the com­pa­ny has gained the trust of lead­ing health­care facil­i­ties world­wide. Pre­ven­tion is the most impor­tant pil­lar of the com­pa­ny’s phi­los­o­phy. Pre­vent­ing infec­tions and oth­er neg­a­tive effects asso­ci­at­ed with health­care in med­ical facil­i­ties is Stryk­er’s pri­ma­ry goal. In 2016, Stryk­er was acquired by Stryk­er Cor­po­ra­tion, one of the lead­ing com­pa­nies in the med­ical tech­nol­o­gy indus­try, as part of its Med­ical Divi­sion. Stryk­er is a com­pa­ny that cares not only about the safe­ty of patients but also of med­ical staff. It was the first to devel­op a med­ical device (sharps con­tain­ers) made from recy­cled med­ical waste (earn­ing the Green Cross cer­ti­fi­ca­tion in 1993) to ensure the safe­ty of med­ical per­son­nel.

Stryker’s Pioneering Products

Stryk­er has devel­oped a prod­uct port­fo­lio aimed at infec­tion pre­ven­tion, includ­ing oral hygiene prod­ucts designed to sup­port the pre­ven­tion of ven­ti­la­tor-asso­ci­at­ed pneu­mo­nia (VAP) and pres­sure ulcer pre­ven­tion. Anoth­er prod­uct group is designed to pre­vent injuries to health­care work­ers, such as the Preval­on posi­tion­ing sys­tem, which ensures safe patient posi­tion­ing. Preval­on prod­ucts sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduce the phys­i­cal strain on med­ical staff and min­i­mize the phys­i­cal effort required to change a patien­t’s posi­tion or trans­fer them.
