Stryker Stair-PRO – EMS Stair Chair for Patient Stairway Transport
Stairway patient handling is one of the highest-risk tasks in EMS — with 1 in 4 EMS workers suffering a career-ending back injury within the first four years of employment. The Stryker Stair-PRO stair chair is purpose-built to help reduce that risk, putting ergonomic control back in the hands of the caregiver during every stair descent and ascent.
Key Features
- Upper Control Handle – Extends to an optimal position for maximum operator control during stairway navigation
- Extendable Foot-End Lift Handles – Designed to a specific length and location to support ergonomic lifting technique and reduce lower back strain
- Stair-TREAD System – Allows the operator to control descent without lifting, helping reduce the risk of lower back disorder; dual Kevlar® treads stand up to tough use and assist controlled descent
- Dual Wheel Locks – Provide stable, secure patient transfer at the top and bottom of stairs
- Four-Inch Front Caster Wheels – Enable wheelchair-like mobility and maximise maneuverability in tight spaces and corridors
-
Locking Rear Lift Handles – Length and placement optimised for safe upstair mobility
