This entry covers only Stryker's Mako surgical robotics program (Mako SmartRobotics, Mako Handheld Robotics, Q Guidance). Parent-wide Stryker financials, headcount and news are out of scope.

Mako SmartRobotics combines CT-based 3D preoperative planning, real-time intraoperative guidance via the fourth-generation Q Guidance system, and haptically constrained robotic-arm bone preparation (AccuStop) for knee, hip, spine and shoulder procedures. Mako 4 is a single robotics platform spanning all applications, adding intraoperative screw trajectory guidance and augment/screw planning for hip revision. Mako RPS is a handheld robotic power system with patented active adjustment technology that responds to surgeon hand movements to maintain alignment with the surgical plan in real time, without cutting blocks. Over 2.5 million Mako procedures performed globally across 47 countries as of July 2026.
