Stryker, a global leader in medical technologies, announced the launch of the ProCeed hospital bed, which offers simplicity while improving care in multiple areas.

Over the past several years, nursing turnover has increased, with a significant proportion of frontline nurses worldwide considering leaving their roles  1 . As hospitals continue to face nursing shortages and burnout 2 , patient care equipment such as beds must withstand high workloads and provide a simple experience for staff. ProCeed is designed to meet the demands of healthcare and provide staff with a durable and cleanable hospital bed.

"Ensuring the safety of clinicians and patients while providing an efficient and easy-to-use platform was key in developing ProCeed," said Scott Sagehorn , vice president and general manager of Stryker's Acute Care business. "Starting with a bed that meets the needs of staff and patients in these markets will help deliver consistent, high-quality care."

ProCeed helps keep patients and care teams safe with a variety of design features, including a low bed height that supports patient mobility and reduces the risk of injury from falls. A fifth wheel, an additional wheel placed on the bed core, reduces the force required to start and provides a steering system that helps reduce the risk of caregiver back injuries. ProCeed also offers two headrest designs, including one that remains in place when the bed frame is tilted, or a mobile headrest that tilts, raises and lowers as the frame articulates into different positions.
