Stryker Instruments: 0.9 TCR = 29% of Instruments, mechanical microsurgical, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Stryker Instruments safety composite

Stryker Instruments scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
