A senior executive physician with National Spine and Pain Centers in McLean, Virginia, Dr. Dan Kendall previously served as chief fellow and clinical instructor at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Dr. Dan Kendall has additionally worked as a consultant to several companies, including the well-known medical manufacturing firm Stryker.
For close to 80 years, Stryker has produced orthopedic devices, emergency medical equipment, surgical supplies, and safety navigation devices. The company got its start when orthopedic surgeon Dr. Homer Stryker, inventor of the walking heel and turning frame, founded it as the Orthopedic Frame Company in 1941.
The firm began manufacturing its wedge turning frame the following year. The device gave medical personnel the ability to keep the spines of patients with back injuries immobilized while more easily turning them in their beds.
Over the decades, Stryker has expanded its product offerings, which today include its emergency evacuation chair. The device assists in evacuating people with mobility problems from multi-story buildings. Thanks to its innovative design and high-quality, durable construction, the Stryker chair is in common use by public and private organizations as part of their safety and evacuation planning.
