Stryker 1069 Ophthalmic Surgical Stretcher: a dedicated solution for eye surgery
The Stryker 1069 stretcher is a highly specialised piece of medical equipment designed to meet the unique needs of ophthalmic surgery. This device combines stability, manoeuvrability and positioning accuracy, while ensuring patient comfort and surgical team efficiency. Its specific design aims to facilitate delicate procedures in an operating environment where every detail counts.
With a maximum load capacity of 227 kg, the Stryker 1069 stretcher is both robust and reliable. It offers a bed length of 229 cm and a width of 80 cm, making it ideal for a wide variety of patients, while maintaining a small footprint for optimal use in often cramped operating theatres. Its height is adjustable between 56.5 and 86.4 cm, allowing medical staff to easily adjust the work surface according to surgical requirements.
One of the major advantages of the 1069 model is its multi-position adjustment system. The backrest (Fowler) can be tilted from 0 to 90°, while the knee section (Knee Gatch) can be adjusted from 0 to 30°. The Trendelenburg/reverse Trendelenburg option allows inclinations from -18° to +18°, facilitating adjustments for better surgical accessibility or increased patient comfort. These positions are easily controlled using ergonomic side controls.
This stretcher is also equipped with a fifth directional wheel, greatly improving its manoeuvrability, especially in busy hospital environments. The centralised braking system, which can be operated from the ends or sides depending on the configuration, ensures quick and secure immobilisation.
Ease of maintenance is also central to the design. All surfaces can be cleaned by hand with mild detergents. Compatibility with common disinfectants ensures impeccable hygiene, which is crucial in a surgical environment.
In terms of comfort, the Stryker 1069 offers a wide range of articulated or extra-comfortable mattresses, concave or flat head cushions, and even an inflatable cushion option for perfect adaptation to the patient's body shape.
The system's modularity is enhanced by an extensive range of accessories (arm supports, articulated headrests, IV pole, etc.), making the stretcher perfectly suited to a variety of surgical scenarios. Each component, from the armrest to the defibrillator tray, is designed to integrate seamlessly with the stretcher frame, facilitating accessibility and speed of intervention.
