Stryker Mako Handheld Robotics in Limited Release .

Stryker has introduced a handheld robotic platform within its Mako ecosystem, marking a new step in the evolution of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery. Currently in limited release, the handheld system is designed to provide surgeons with greater flexibility while maintaining the precision associated with Mako technology. Unlike traditional robotic arms, the handheld approach allows surgeons to directly guide instruments while benefiting from real-time feedback and data-driven surgical planning. The system aims to improve implant positioning accuracy, enhance workflow efficiency, and expand the accessibility of robotics across orthopedic procedures. This development reflects a broader trend toward more adaptable, surgeon-controlled robotic technologies that integrate advanced planning, navigation, and execution within modern orthopedic surgery.
