<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>An investment in the notes involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding to purchase any notes, you should carefully consider the risks
and uncertainties set forth below and the risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the information set forth under &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in our Annual Report on <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Form&nbsp;10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022 and in other documents that we subsequently file with the SEC and that are incorporated by reference. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us. There may be other risks that a prospective investor should consider that
are relevant to that investor&#146;s own particular circumstances or generally. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related to the Notes </B></P>

of our subsidiaries. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with our other
existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The notes will not be secured by any of our assets. Any future claims of our secured lenders with respect to assets securing their loans will be prior to any claim of the holders of the notes with
respect to those assets. Holders of secured debt that we have now or may issue in the future may foreclose on the assets securing such debt, reducing the cash flow from the foreclosed assets available for payment of unsecured debt, including the
notes. Holders of our secured debt also will have priority over unsecured creditors in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. As a result, the notes will be
effectively subordinated to any secured debt that we may issue in the future to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our operations are partially conducted through our subsidiaries that are separate and distinct legal entities from us. Our subsidiaries have
no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or to provide us with funds to meet our payment obligations on the notes, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, any payment of dividends, loans or
advances by our subsidiaries could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Payments to us by our subsidiaries are contingent upon the subsidiaries&#146; earnings, cash flow and other business considerations. Our right to receive any
assets of any of our subsidiaries upon their bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization and, therefore, the right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary&#146;s
creditors, including trade creditors. In addition, even if we are a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our right as a creditor would be subordinated to any security interest in such assets of our subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our
subsidiaries senior in right of payment to that held by us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At September&nbsp;30, 2023, we had approximately $3&nbsp;million of

their market making at any time. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained for the notes, you may find it difficult or impossible to resell the notes. Further, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market for the notes
that may develop, your ability to sell your notes or the price at which you may be able to sell your notes. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of
operations, the then-current ratings assigned to the notes and any markets for similar securities. Any trading market that develops would be affected by many factors independent of and in addition to the foregoing, including: </P>

offer to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such repurchase, and holders may tender all or part of their notes into such offer. If a
Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, there can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to repurchase the notes so tendered by holders for repurchase or that the terms of other
indebtedness will not preclude us from doing so. Our failure to repurchase the notes as required under the Indenture would result in a default under the Indenture, which could result in other defaults under our and our subsidiaries&#146; various
debt agreements and other arrangements and have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes. See &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event.&#148; </P>

(the &#147;Supplemental Indenture&#148; and, the indenture as so supplemented, the &#147;Indenture&#148;) to be entered into between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The terms of the notes include those provisions
contained in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. We have summarized selected terms and provisions of the Indenture below and in the accompanying prospectus. These summaries
are not complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the actual provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions contained in the Indenture of some of the terms used below, and the notes. The Indenture is
incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement under which the notes are being offered and sold. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; </I></P>

unsecured obligations of ours and will rank equally in right of payment with our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness (including the euro notes, if issued). The notes will not be secured by any of our assets. Any future claims of
our secured lenders with respect to assets securing their loans will be prior to any claim of the holders of the notes with respect to those assets. Holders of secured debt that we have now or may issue in the future may foreclose on the assets
securing such debt, reducing the cash flow from the foreclosed property available for payment of unsecured debt, including the notes. Holders of our secured debt also would have priority over unsecured creditors in the event of our bankruptcy,
liquidation or similar proceeding to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. The notes will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our subsidiaries, including trade payables. Because we conduct many of our
operations through our subsidiaries, our right to participate in any distribution of the assets of a subsidiary when it winds up its business is subject to the prior claims of the creditors of that subsidiary. This means that your right to payment
as a holder of our notes will also be subject to the prior claims of these creditors if a subsidiary liquidates or reorganizes or otherwise winds up its business. If we are a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our right as a creditor would be
subordinated to any security interest in the assets of those subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our subsidiaries senior in right of payment to that held by us. At September&nbsp;30, 2023, we had approximately $3&nbsp;million of indebtedness
outstanding on a consolidated basis that would rank structurally senior to the notes and approximately $12,687&nbsp;million of indebtedness outstanding on a consolidated basis that would rank equally with the notes. See &#147;Risk Factors&#151;Risks
Related to the Notes&#151;The notes will be effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured debt and the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture does not limit the amount of notes, unsecured debentures or other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue under the
Indenture and provides that notes, unsecured debentures or other evidences of indebtedness may be issued from time to time in one or more series. We may from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the notes, create and
issue additional notes having the same ranking and terms and conditions as the notes, except for the issue date, the public offering price and, in some cases, the first interest payment date. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together
with the notes, will constitute a single series of securities under the Indenture. If the additional notes, if any, are not fungible with the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional notes will have a separate CUSIP number. </P>

as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such

January&nbsp;15, 2010, between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, and subordinated debt securities may be issued under a &#147;Subordinated Indenture&#148; anticipated to be
entered into between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. This prospectus sometimes refers to the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture collectively as the &#147;Indentures.&#148; The Senior Indenture and the form of the
Subordinated Indenture have been filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference in the registration statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-3</FONT> of which this prospectus forms a part. We may also issue debt securities under a
separate, new indenture. If that occurs, we will describe any differences in the terms of any such indenture in the prospectus supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following briefly summarizes the material provisions of the Indentures and the debt securities, other than pricing and related terms
disclosed in the accompanying prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. You should read the more detailed provisions of the applicable Indenture, including the defined terms, for provisions that may be important to you. You
should also read the particular terms of an offering of debt securities, which will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. Copies of the Indentures may be obtained from Stryker
or the trustee. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>General </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt
securities will be our direct unsecured obligations. The senior debt securities will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to
all of our present and future senior indebtedness to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture. The debt securities will not be secured by any of our property or assets. Thus, by owning a debt security, you are one of our
unsecured creditors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since our operations are partially conducted through our subsidiaries, the cash flow and the consequent ability to
service our indebtedness, including the debt securities, is partially dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings or upon the payments of funds by those subsidiaries to us. Our subsidiaries are separate and
distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the debt securities or to make funds available to us, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. In addition, the payment of dividends
and the making of loans and advances to us by our subsidiaries may be subject to contractual or statutory restrictions, are contingent upon the earnings of those subsidiaries and are subject to various business considerations. Any right we may have
to receive assets of any of our subsidiaries upon their liquidation or reorganization (and the consequent right of the holders of our debt securities to participate in those assets) will be effectively subordinated to the claims of such
subsidiary&#146;s creditors, including trade creditors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indentures do not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities
that we may issue and provide that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. We may issue additional debt securities of a particular series
without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single
series of debt securities under the applicable Indenture. The Indentures also do not limit our ability to incur other debt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each
