Stryker announces Mako System鈥檚 1,000th install
16-Sep-2020
Stryker has announced the installation of its 1,000th Mako System, a significant milestone for Mako SmartRobotics鈩.
There are now more than 1,000 Mako Systems installed across 28 countries and in every state in the contiguous U.S. Introduced in 2006, Mako SmartRobotics鈩 now has over 14 years of clinical use, with over 350,000 robotic-arm-assisted surgery cases performed worldwide. Mako SmartRobotics鈩 combines three key components 鈥 3D CT-based planning, AccuStop鈩 haptic technology and insightful data analytics* 鈥 into one platform, which has shown better outcomes for total hip, total knee and partial knee patients.1,2,3
鈥淭he installation of the 1,000th Mako is a milestone we are proud of, especially since the full launch of our Total Knee application just happened in 2016,鈥 said Spencer Stiles, Stryker鈥檚 group president of Orthopaedics & Spine. 鈥淩obotics in orthopaedics is here to stay, and at Stryker we are committed to further advancing this technology.鈥
