The company was established by Dr. Homer Stryker, who invented his own tools for his orthopedic practice when he discovered that many of the available medical products were insufficient. In 1941, he established the Orthopedic Frame Company to meet the growing demand for his products. In 1964, the company took on its current name, Stryker. It went international eight years later.
