Patient handling injuries are among the most common occupational risks in hospitals — and the stretcher is where most of them happen. An electric transport stretcher that powers height and positioning reduces staff strain and speeds patient flow through the emergency department. The Stryker Prime Series is built for this role.
What the official record says
According to the Stryker official acute care portfolio, the Prime Series comprises electric hospital transport stretchers, designed for patient transport and handling across hospital departments. Configurations, weight capacities and features should be confirmed from official Stryker documentation during procurement.
Why powered stretchers earn their keep
Electric height adjustment lets staff transfer patients at safe working heights, reducing lift injuries; powered mobility features help transport through long corridors and into imaging. For busy emergency departments, the difference compounds across every shift.
Procurement checklist
Plan for: fleet size against patient volume, accessory needs (IV poles, rails, mattress specifications), staff training, battery and charging management, and preventive maintenance to keep powered functions dependable.
