How Mako 4 Works
Scan. A CT scan of your knee is taken before surgery, giving your surgeon a detailed picture of your unique anatomy — including bone structure, alignment, and surrounding tissue.
Plan. Your surgeon uses the CT scan to create a personalized 3D surgical plan tailored specifically to your joint. This plan is used to guide every step of the procedure.
Mako Can. In the operating room, your surgeon guides Mako's robotic arm within pre-set boundaries using AccuStop™ technology — helping to ensure the implant is placed precisely according to your personalized plan. Your surgeon is in control at every moment.
Mako 4 also features:
- The Q Guidance System (4th generation) — Stryker's most advanced guidance platform
- The FP8000 camera with wide field of view for enhanced probe and array visibility during surgery
- A large display monitor for improved intraoperative visibility
- A space-efficient design for streamlined OR setup and turnover
