For emergency medical services professionals the transport of patients is a routine task which can be physically very demanding. It is known that EMS professionals frequently report musculoskeletal injuries in the back, shoulders, knees and legs due to lifting, carrying or moving patients.1 Stryker's powered solution is designed to help reduce the risk of injuries when loading and unloading cots.
We understand paramedics' needs. With our solutions, we are committed to improve your working environment.
Injury reductions
When comparing the cot-related injuries in a one-year retrospective data review conducted together with an EMS provider in Denmark, it was shown that the group using a powered system had 71% fewer injuries than the group using a manual system.
Staff satisfaction
Stryker conducted a satisfaction survey on Power-LOAD and Power-PRO XT with 295 paramedics: 97% of the interviewees stated that Power-LOAD and Power-PRO XT have reduced the physical effort required in their day-to-day workflows.
