Stryker Robot Training

Sometimes I feel the technological innovations in healthcare are overlooked. All the focus seems to be on the likes of software, mobile phones, wearable devices, self-driving cars, gaming, drones etc. Maybe it is because healthcare is complex and difficult to understand for the layman?


Stryker, one of our recommended stocks in the US, has recently opened a robotic surgery training centre in Fort Lauderdale. The facility will train over 100 surgeons this year as well as plenty of Stryker support staff.


Much of the focus will be on performing joint replacements with robotic assistance. The Stryker Mako is the primary robotic device they will be focusing on. This device enables surgeons to have a more predictable surgical experience when performing joint replacements.





Once the surgeons are trained with this product they will be entrenched in using it. They will then insist that the hospitals they operate from purchase the product. Seems like a good strategy to me!
