Stryker Medical makes hospital beds, surfaces and stretchers for the comfort and security of patients, which has made us an undisputed industry leader in patient handling equipment. We're dedicated to improving patient outcomes and reducing the cost of care through products that can help protect against patients falls, healthcare-associated infections and pressure ulcers while maintaining caregiver safety via advanced ergonomic product designs. Products and features such as the Zoom® Motorized Transport found on our beds and stretchers, which virtually eliminates manual pushing, are hallmarks of Stryker's history of innovation. Stryker designs products with the caregiver in mind, because we believe beds, surfaces and stretchers need to be more than just pieces of equipment. They need to aid care giving, improve safety and enhance healing. More information can be found at http://www.med.stryker.com/.
Stryker Corporation has acquired privately held Gaymar Industries, a company that specializes in a broad range of support surfaces and pressure ulcer management solutions as well as temperature management products. Stryker's Medical division and Gaymar have had a successful 10-year partnership highlighted by the introduction of the Isoflex® and XPRT® support surfaces, both of which have been widely adopted in the market.
This acquisition enables Stryker to deliver a more robust, comprehensive solution to our customers in the following ways:
- Enhances the Spectrum of Care that Stryker can provide with a complementary portfolio of diverse products across a broader range of clinical applications and price points
- Advances Our Prevention Philosophy of developing innovative products and services designed to help prevent adverse events, which improve clinical and financial outcomes
- Provides A Stronger Clinical Foundation of education, research and training that supports clinicians in their delivery of evidence-based patient care
