Medtech Instruments constant-currency sales growth measures revenue growth in Stryker's Instruments business after removing foreign-currency translation effects.

Stryker reported 9.0% constant-currency growth in Instruments for the second quarter of 2026. Revenue increased to $1.003B from $918M.

International growth ran faster than U.S. growth

Instruments revenue grew 8.4% in the United States and 12.3% internationally on a constant-currency basis.

The business therefore combined broad growth with a stronger international contribution.

The reorganized business scope matters

Stryker changed its organizational structure in 2026, moving Orthopaedic Instruments into Ortho Tech and combining Neuro Cranial and Enabling Technologies into Instruments, with historical periods recast.

Use it with Ortho Tech constant-currency sales growth and MedSurg and Neurotechnology operating margin.
