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.
