Stryker, a global leader in medical technologies, recently participated at the Criticare National Conference (2024), held at the ITC Royal Bengal in Kolkata, India. During the event, Stryker launched and showcased two new products– 'LIFEPAK CR2 automated external defibrillator (AED) for cardiac care' and 'Evacuation Chair' for emergency patient evacuation.

The LIFEPAK CR2 is a revolutionary defibrillator designed to empower rescuers in providing high-quality CPR and delivering instant shock during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) emergencies. This innovative device incorporates QUIK-STEP electrodes which peel directly off the base for faster placement on patient chest and a Shock Advisory System which is an ECG analysis system that advises whether a shock is appropriate.

The CPR coaching technology provides instructions for adult and pediatric CPR, including feedback when no CPR is detected, rate and depth guidance, a metronome, and instructions on hand placement for CPR. LIFEPAK CR2 also detects whether chest compressions are being performed and adjusts the voice prompts, if needed, to help the responder resume CPR and provide life-saving care.

Stryker also showcased its new evacuation chair, designed to facilitate the safe and efficient evacuation of patients with limited mobility during emergencies. Additionally, the chair's maneuverability allows for easy navigation in tight spaces, and its compact storage capability maximizes space efficiency when not in use.
