Advanced Features of Mako SmartRobotics
3D CT-Based Planning
Mako SmartRobotics utilizes 3D CT-based planning, allowing surgeons to create detailed, patient-specific surgical plans. This technology ensures that every procedure is tailored to the unique anatomy of each patient, enhancing the accuracy of implant placement.
AccuStop™ Haptic Technology
The incorporation of AccuStop™ haptic technology enables real-time feedback during surgery. This feature helps surgeons make precise adjustments, resulting in:
– Pristine Bone Resections: Minimizing bone damage compared to manual techniques.
– Reduced Soft Tissue Damage: Preserving surrounding tissues for faster recovery.
– Greater Bone Preservation: Enhancing the longevity and stability of implants.
Applications in Healthcare
Mako SmartRobotics is versatile, supporting a range of surgical procedures:
Mako Total Knee
Designed to optimize component positioning, Mako Total Knee enhances functional outcomes by allowing intraoperative assessment of soft tissue laxities and implant placement adjustments.
Mako Total Hip
With patient-specific planning, Mako Total Hip facilitates more accurate implant positioning. Surgeons can visualize potential impingements and achieve precise alignment using AccuStop™ technology.
Mako Partial Knee
Mako Partial Knee dynamically balances soft tissue tension intraoperatively, aiming to recreate natural knee kinematics. Clinical studies highlight its ability to deliver accurate, patient-specific implant placements while minimizing soft tissue damage.
Mako Spine
Mako Spine provides surgeons with confidence during spinal procedures by ensuring alignment and stability through haptic feedback and pre-planned trajectories. This system supports accurate screw placement and vertebral alignment.
