• According to Bimedis, a trusted source of used and refurbished medical equipment, the average price for a basic Stryker Nara 4402 model is $504 based on sales data from 5 offers. As a third-party reseller, Bimedis provides significant discounts compared to new units direct from Stryker.
• For a short-term rental option, Heritage Props LA charges $137.50 for a 1-week rental and $550 for a 7-week rental of the Stryker Nara. This allows flexibility for temporary usage.

Stryker Nara Baby Bassinet Overview

The Nara lives up to this reputation with its unique infant-focused and caregiver-friendly features including:

• Adjustable height – Bassinet height can be raised and lowered from 22” to 34” to accommodate standing nurses and seated mothers for feeding and bonding. This adjustable range suits more caregivers and nurses than fixed-height models.
• Narrow side-access – The narrow side panel with dropdown rail allows mothers to be closer to infants for bonding, breastfeeding and care moments. Not all bassinets allow this close access.
• Mobility – Integrated 5” casters and lightweight frame enable easy transport between rooms or mothers. Supportive of family-centered care models.
• Baby safety – Locking casters, low center of gravity, and restraint straps keep baby securely in place. Integration with hospital bed alarms also available for additional safety.
• Materials – Durable stainless steel frame withstands hospital use. Seamless antimicrobial surfaces inhibit bacteria growth and allow easy cleaning.
• Neonatal options – Thermoregulation mattress pad, illumination, and infant head/shoulder support accessories meet specialized neonatal care needs.

With these features and medical-grade quality, the Stryker Nara promotes flexible family-centered care while still delivering hospital-required safety and durability. This explains why it remains a top choice for leading hospitals and birthing centers.

Factors Affecting Stryker Nara Pricing

Now that we’ve covered the bassinet’s capabilities, what factors actually determine the price tag? Here are the key considerations:

New vs Used – Brand new Stryker Nara models purchased directly through authorized dealers offer the latest features and a full manufacturer’s warranty, but come at a premium cost. Used and refurbished units have more variability in price based on condition, included accessories, warranty coverage, etc.

Condition – Used bassinets in certified, pre-owned “like new” condition will fall on the higher end of the used price range while more worn units will be cheaper. Condition greatly affects resale value.

Included Features/Accessories – The basic Stryker Nara 4402 model covers necessary features like adjustability and safety. Additional neonatal options like thermoregulation pads, illumination, and O2 hooks cost extra. More accessories mean higher MSRP.

Seller/Source – Buying directly from Stryker dealers generally means paying MSRP. But third-party used medical equipment resellers will offer significant discounts. Rental pricing also varies based on duration.

Shipping/Delivery – Delivery fees add to the total cost, especially for freight shipping of large, heavy items like bassinets. This can range $50-$250+ depending on distance.

Warranty Inclusion – Most sellers include a 1-year warranty. But buying directly from Stryker includes a standard 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. Extended warranty options up to 5 years are also available for purchase.

Volume Discounts – Facilities buying multiple units may qualify for bulk or volume discounts compared to single unit purchases. Always inquire with dealers.

These are the major factors that cause the new Stryker Nara 4402 bassinet price to range from just $500 for an older used unit all the way up to $2500+ for a brand new model with all the options direct from Stryker. Let’s look at some real-world pricing examples.

Cost Comparison – Stryker Nara vs Other Brands

To fully evaluate the value proposition, it helps to compare the Stryker Nara cost to other bassinet options:

• Basic bassinets from brands like Koola Baby, Nordmiex, and Century Travel range from just $100-$220 given their lighter-duty materials and lack of adjustability.
• High-tech “smart” bassinets like the 4mom’s mamaRoo with premium materials and electronic features are $400-$450.
• Comparable adjustable height hospital-grade bassinets like the Herman Miller Panda Crib typically start at $1,600 new.

When you consider that a new Stryker Nara provides medical durability, safety, adjustability, and mobility in the $2,000-2,500 range, it is very fairly priced, especially for the quality. While not the cheapest lightweight option, the Stryker Nara delivers excellent value for hospital investments.

Real-World Use Cases and Reviews

Don’t just take our word on the value of the Stryker Nara. Here’s feedback from actual healthcare professionals using the Nara in hospital settings:

• “I highly recommend the adjustable height of the Stryker Nara. Our shorter nurses struggled with the previous fixed models. Now anyone can easily reach into the bassinet without strain.” – NICU Charge Nurse, Methodist Hospital of Chicago
