Description
Replacement Stryker Big Wheel Dampener | 1040-006-209 is a non-OEM gas spring for the big wheel on Stryker Prime 1115 and M-Series 1015 stretchers. Does your big wheel slam when you release the brakes, or does the brake pedal feel hard to push? A worn-out gas dampener is a common cause. As the gas pressure drops, the spring snaps back or binds.
In addition, this direct-replacement dampener restores smooth, controlled movement to the big wheel assembly. It cushions each transition, so the linkages are protected from shock damage. As a result, caregivers get the smooth pedal feel they expect.
