MAHWAH,
N.J., Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stryker
(NYSE: SYK), a global leader in medical technology, showcases its
commitment to innovation and technological advancement in Joint
Replacement with the introduction of Triathlon® Hinge as
well as the continued evolution of Mako SmartRobotics™ at this
year's American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' (AAOS) 2024 Annual
Meeting in San Francisco.
Triathlon Hinge: Building on Stryker's commitment to
innovation with the Triathlon brand, Triathlon Hinge is the latest
addition and a significant advancement in the continuum of care for
revision patients, especially in complex cases involving bone loss
or soft tissue challenges.
The foundation of the Triathlon Hinge system is the versatility
of the Triathlon Revision Baseplate, with multiple intraoperative
and post-operative revision knee implant options, allowing for
seamless conversion to any Stryker revision procedure.
The Triathlon Hinge system reduces the procedural steps of a
Triathlon revision-to-Hinge conversion during surgery with
streamlined workflow and simplified instrumentation, addressing
challenges that a surgeon may encounter during a revision and
providing meaningful surgical suite efficiency.
"Building on the legacy of the Triathlon brand, the Triathlon
Hinge is a testament to our dedication to surgical excellence and
innovation," said Lisa Kloes, vice president and general
manager of Stryker's Knees business. "Our goal has been to simplify
revision and we are excited to see how this innovation will impact
our surgeons and how it will help their patients get back to the
things they love."
Direct Anterior Reconstructive Technology (DART™)
and Mako: With over 56% of surgeons in the US performing hip
replacement through a direct anterior (DA) approach, Stryker
highlights a solution focused on reducing intra-operative
fluoroscopy (fluoro) in DA procedures. Mako
SmartRobotics™, a part of the DART ecosystem, has
demonstrated accuracy to surgical plan in total hip arthroplasty
without the use of fluoro.1-2 Mako can help surgeons
reduce intra-operative radiation and join the journey to a
fluoro-free operating room.
myMako: Stryker is extending a surgeon's Mako
SmartRobotics™ experience in and beyond the operating room through
the development of the myMako app for Apple Vision Pro and iPhone.
When used on Apple Vision Pro, myMako will allow surgeons to
visualize and review patients' Mako surgical plans anytime,
anywhere in a brilliant, immersive visual experience.*
"Stryker remains committed to innovation and what we are
showcasing at the meeting is further proof of our ability to build
solutions that make healthcare better for our customers and their
patients," said Katherine Truppi,
president, Stryker's Joint Replacement division. "I look forward to
continuing on this journey of innovation and to enhancing our joint
replacement products and solutions, as well as expanding digital
solutions."
