Integrated technologies
maximized for Mako
Mako Spine seamlessly integrates with our OR technologies, simplifying imaging, planning, and execution for spine surgery.
Confidence with AccuStop™ haptic technology
Mako Spine is designed to give you confidence that you're executing your procedure to plan and support correct level selection with visual level indication and haptic feedback.
Simplified planning, streamlined experience
Enjoy the ease of automatic patient registration, single-step robotic-arm registration, Smart Segmentation, and algorithm-driven automatic screw suggestion and rod length estimation.
Control in your hands
Free positioning of the unit and robotic-arm, unrestricted level selection and lock-and-hold features help provide stability within haptic boundaries during pedicle preparation and screw placement.
Smart screw placement with Copilot
This software feature allows the Copilot Smart Driver to stop automatically when it reaches a pre-planned depth, supporting precision during pedicle preparation and screw placement.
Confidence with
Accustop™ haptic tecnology
Align once, and breathe easy
Once you have moved the robotic-arm to the area of interest and a vertebral level is identified, Mako Spine is designed to leverage AccuStop™ haptic technology to enable alignment to, and help provide stability within, the haptic boundaries of a pre-planned trajectory that has been suggested by the software and confirmed by you, based on your patient’s unique anatomy.
Designed for correct level selection with visual level indication and haptic feedback
Has been shown to provide accurate and repeatable trajectory guidance for pedicle preparation and screw placement4
Allows for reduced errors associated with non-navigated and non-robotic screw placement4
Simplified planning,
streamlined experience
We've taken the guesswork out of planning
Smart Segmentation automatically identifies and labels vertebrae down to the bone surface level, including vertebral body, posterior elements, endplates, and pedicles.
Algorithm-driven automatic and customizable screw size and trajectory suggestions are confirmed by the surgeon and are designed to:
- Help avoid pedicle breaching
- Help avoid contralateral screw tip interference
- Enable you to configure size symmetry per level
- Offer two possible trajectory suggestions for midline and MIS pedicle screw techniques
Rod visualization and length estimation aim to help you simplify a complex step of spinal fixation.
Control in
your hands
No two patients are alike
No two surgical plans look the same. With Mako Spine, you have the flexibility to move the robotic-arm to the vertebral level you’re ready to instrument next and the freedom to seamlessly transition between navigated and non-navigated workflows.
Smart screw placement
with Copilot's automatic depth stop
The Copilot Smart Driver stops automatically when it reaches a pre-planned depth, supporting precision during pedicle preparation and screw placement.

Spine Guidance 5 Software with Copilot
Engineered for precision, Spine Guidance 5 Software featuring Copilot is designed to empower you to plan and perform certain spinal procedures with confidence. Boasting a range of smart features and seamlessly integrating with various Stryker spinal screw systems, imaging systems, and CORE 2, these innovative technologies are designed to lead you into the future of spine surgery.
Spinal robotics
we're just getting started
1.6 million spinal fusions are performed each year in the United States5
10% of spine surgery* is done robotically6
26% growth = fastest growing segment of spine market6
*Posterior thoracolumbar spinal procedures.
“Now using the Mako robotic-arm for targeting the pedicle once instead of three or four times with navigated or manual instruments, that strain and stress have really been relieved for me during surgery.”
- Jim Sanfilippo, MD*
“The entire Mako platform is outstanding. We just did our first percutaneous Mako case this week using the pelvic tracker, and I found the accuracy to be phenomenal.”
- Jason Lowenstein, MD*
*Dr. Sanfilippo and Dr. Lowenstein are paid-consultants of Stryker. The opinions expressed by Dr. Sanfilippo and Dr. Lowenstein are those of Dr. Sanfilippo and Dr. Lowenstein and not necessarily those of Stryker. Individual experiences may vary.
