THE CIRCO-LECTRIC BED
� During the 1950s Dr. Stryker
worked on what was arguably his
most famous invention – the
Circo-Lectric Hospital Bed.
� It resembled a small Ferris wheel.
� consisted of a bed suspended
between two wheels. An electric between two wheels. An electric
motor turned the bed to a vertical
or horizontal position, as well as
many positions in between.
� The device could be operated by
the patient or a nurse.
� Like the turning frame, this
reduced the amount of time and
effort used by staff to physically
move patients..http://www.kpl.gov/uploadedImages/Local_History/Essays_All_About_Kalamazoo_History/biographie
