Unleash the future

Mako Total Knee 2.0 drives ease of use through its intuitive design, a customizable step-by-step workflow and innovative features – including a digital tensioner that allows surgeons to assess the knee’s stability intraoperatively during a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without any additional instrumentation.

 

There’s often a perception that robotics is complex and can be intimidating, which is why we are so excited about this launch – it delivers an unparalleled robotic experience.

Mako Total Knee 2.0 features a new Digital Tensioner

  • Standard soft tissue balancing techniques utilized in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can often be subjective, centered around a surgeon’s feel of ligament laxity.1
  • The Mako Total Knee 2.0 digital tensioner has demonstrated excellent repeatable ligament laxity assessments and reproducible ligament assessments within 1mm.2
    • No additional instrumentation or hardware 
    • Audible and visual guidance provided to the surgeon during assessment, every 0.5mm

Mako SmartRobotics™ System
Know more. Cut less.4,5*  Mako Total Knee 2.0 is built on the legacy of Mako SmartRobotics™ – 3D CT-based planning, AccuStop™ haptic technology, and Insightful Data Analytics – as this has been and continues to be the foundation of our Mako success. It combines innovative Mako Technology with our clinically proven Triathlon implants to help you optimize Triathlon component positioning and provide enhanced outcomes for patients.3

Mako Total Knee 2.0 is focused on enhancing the surgeon experience, driving efficiencies and increasing surgeon confidence.

The outcomes you expect.

Greater precision to plan

Studies have shown 3D CT planning and haptic boundaries allow surgeons to deliver a more precise procedure,6 with less soft tissue damage compared to manual.4,7 

Less pain, fewer meds

Patients experienced less pain,3 and required less pain relief8 compared to manual total knee replacement.

Improved early recovery

In the Australian Registry, four-year survivorship of the Triathlon CR implanted with Mako had a relative improvement of 19% over manual TKA.10 

Improved mid-term survivorship

A cadaveric study has shown that registration landmarks are more accurately identified using a 3D CT scan compared to intra-op points captured manually.12 

The experience you deserve.

Surgeon confidence

95% of users surveyed reported overall increased confidence intraoperatively compared to manual total knee.11

Intuitive design

84% of users surveyed reported intuitive use of the system.11

New Digital Tensioner

A cadaveric study has shown excellent repeatable ligament laxity assessments and reproducible ligament assessments within 1mm.2

Accurate 3D CT registration

A cadaveric study has shown that registration landmarks are more accurately identified using a 3D CT scan compared to intra-op points captured manually.12 

"Mako Total Knee with the new 2.0 software offers an intuitive workflow that simplifies my ability to perform patient specific functional implant positioning. An added bonus are the new features that make bone cutting and preparation highly efficient.  The planning and execution makes this the ideal tool for me to perform TKA’s efficiently in my ASC.”
