KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Kalamazoo-based Stryker is creating a new low-cost medical bed due to the increase of COVID-19 patients.
The medical technologies firm says their Emergency Relief Bed helps emergency responders and caregivers move and position patients more efficiently. They designed the product due to the high-demand for patient platforms and the ongoing need to quickly serve coronavirus patients.
Stryker plans to manufacture 10,000 beds per week.
According to their website, the medical bed “features a 30-degree head of bed angle to accommodate patients in respiratory distress, including vented patients. It also features low height, a 6” thick mattress, and an attached IV pole.”
