Preparing for 2023
Stryker's System 9 will launch next
year. The system introduces a Europeancentric
designed aseptic system for addressing
a variety of orthopedic procedures.
A new transfer shield has been
engineered to accommodate novel
aseptic system designs, including a redesigned
battery handle and the system's
redesigned aseptic door aids in cleaning
and use. It also provides tactical and visual
feedback when latched. The handpiece
retention mechanism has been
updated with a new, intuitive locking
mechanism that helps establish a secure
battery connection. A novel twist-lock
design provides tactile and visual feedback
to ensure that it is locked.
" Our next-gen power tools have some
exciting new feature sets that are going
to do well in the market. Those products
bring along a suite of products with
them, " said Boehnlein.
" In the launch year, there's training
and sales details to work through with
customers, so the impact is noticeable
but not big. It's the next year when we
hit the large stride and full impact of
that product. That would hold true for
endoscopy as well. Customers are expecting
those launches so there are those
early adopter customers that provide a
nice little spike for us, " he said. " We haven't
impacted our innovation span. We
firmly believe that we must keep investing
in that innovation line as that drives
our product pipeline and drives our top
line number. "
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2021, Stryker acquired both Wright
Medical and Gauss Surgical. Wright
Medical brought a complementary
prod uct portfolio and customer base to
Stryker's trauma, foot, and ankle, and
upper extremities businesses. Gauss
Surgical developed Triton, an artificial
intelligence- enabled platform for
real-time monitoring of blood loss in
sponges and canisters during surgery,
enabling early detection of postpartum
hemorrhage. Stryker believes the Triton
technology will help improve the industry
standards for quantifying blood loss
in the labor and delivery department,
furthering Stryker's commitment to improve
safety and outcomes for our caregivers
and their patients.
In February 2022, Stryker completed
its acquisition of Vocera CommunicaMedical

tions, a leader in digital care coordination
and communication. Vocera brings
a highly complementary and innovative
portfolio to Stryker's medical division
that will enhance the company's advanced
digital healthcare offerings and
further advance Stryker's focus on preventing
adverse events throughout the
continuum of care. Stryker has integrated
the Vocera product into Stryker's
acute care sales force.
" We are ahead on our revenue targets,
and we're going to feel the benefit of that
as it gains momentum, " said Boehnlein.
" On the integration front, we're probably
halfway through working through
that process. We'll be in a position where
