The Mako RPS system combines intraoperative planning with active adjustment technology. By utilizing a robotically enabled saw that responds to a surgeon’s real-time hand movements, the device maintains alignment with a pre-operative plan without requiring traditional cutting blocks. This design aims to provide a more intuitive experience, allowing surgeons to adopt robotic assistance while maintaining the workflow of the company’s established Triathlon Total Knee System.
Stryker Launches Mako RPS to Expand Handheld Orthopaedic Robotics
Stryker has initiated the U.S. commercial rollout of Mako RPS, a handheld robotic system designed for total knee replacement procedures. This launch marks the debut of the Mako Handheld Robotics platform, intended to integrate robotic precision into existing surgical workflows through a familiar, power-tool-based interface for orthopaedic surgeons.
Keith Evans, vice president and general manager of Stryker's Mako and Enabling Technologies business, noted that the system is designed to broaden the reach of robotic technology into new customer segments. The device is also compatible with Stryker’s Q Guidance System, further integrating the technology into the company’s broader orthopaedic ecosystem. With over 2.5 million procedures performed globally using Mako technology to date, this expansion represents a strategic effort to offer healthcare providers increased flexibility in surgical settings.
