New hospital bed helps caregivers deliver efficient and quality
care in markets outside the U.S.
PORTAGE,
Mich., Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Stryker
(NYSE:SYK), a global leader in medical technologies, announced the
launch of the ProCeed hospital bed, offering simplicity while
enhancing care across various regions.
Over the last several years, nursing staff turnover has
increased, and a significant percentage of frontline nurses across
the globe have considered leaving their roles1. As
hospitals continue to face nursing shortages and staff
burnout2, patient care equipment, like beds, need to
endure a heavy workload and provide staff with a straightforward
experience. ProCeed was built to withstand the demands of
healthcare and provide staff with a durable and cleanable hospital
bed.
"As we designed ProCeed, helping keep clinicians and patients
safe while allowing for an efficient and easy-to-use platform was
key," said Scott Sagehorn, vice
president and general manager of Stryker's Acute Care business.
"Launching a bed that meets the needs of staff and patients in
these markets will help deliver consistent and quality care."
ProCeed helps keep patients and care teams safe with various
design elements, including low bed height, which supports patient
mobility and reduces the risk of injury from falls. The fifth
wheel, an extra wheel positioned at the core of the bed, reduces
start-up push force and offers steering help to reduce the risk of
caregiver back injuries. ProCeed also offers two headboard designs,
including one that stays stationary as the bed frame tilts, or a
mobile headboard that tilts, raises and lowers as the frame
articulates into different positions.
