MAKO Surgical Corp. is a medical device company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, focused on robotic-assisted solutions for minimally invasive orthopedic knee procedures. Its main offering, the RIO Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System, supports surgeon-guided, tissue-sparing knee resurfacing to prepare the joint for implant placement through a small incision, aiming to extend treatment options for patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis. The company emphasizes a patient-specific visualization approach and tactile-resistance feedback to assist surgeons in aligning resurfacing implants. MAKO holds a substantial portfolio of intellectual property related to computer-assisted surgery, haptics, robotics, and implants, reflecting its position within the broader medical equipment manufacturing industry. The business targets orthopedic surgeons and their patients seeking alternatives to conventional joint replacement through technology-enabled, precision-driven procedures. The organization operates in a field where minimally invasive robotic assistance seeks to improve outcomes and expand access to knee joint resurfacing therapy. A notable recent development is the company’s acquisition history, including Stryker’s purchase of MAKO Surgical, illustrating its strategic industry repositioning within the medical device landscape.
