STRYKER FloSteady Control

The curved shape of STRYKER´s FloSteady control is ergonomically pleasant to grip and lies securely in the hand. The transition from convex to concave in the base of the housing ensures stable three-point support, even on uneven surfaces. The slightly raised edge of the upper surface is a decorative detail, but it also prevents unintentional operation of the control should it fall to the floor.

The FloSteady control for rinsing pumps from STRYKER has an innovative material concept: the housing consists of two silicone shells that are bonded together. This makes it resistant to pressure, heat and moisture and thus fully sterilizable for the first time. As a result, it can lie in the operating field and be operated directly by the doctors performing the surgery, rather than by the scrub nurse in the non-sterile area as is usually the case.
