Stryker is introducing its Triathlon Hinge and continued evolution of Mako SmartRobotics at this year’s American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) meeting.
The Triathlon revision baseplate has multiple intraoperative and post-operative revision knee implant options. The Hinge system reduces the procedural steps of a Triathlon revision-to-hinge conversion during surgery with streamlined workflow and simplified instrumentation, according to the company.
"Building on the legacy of the Triathlon brand, the Triathlon Hinge is a testament to our dedication to surgical excellence and innovation," said Lisa Kloes, VP and GM of Stryker's Knees business. "Our goal has been to simplify revision and we are excited to see how this innovation will impact our surgeons and how it will help their patients get back to the things they love."
"Stryker remains committed to innovation and what we are showcasing at the meeting is further proof of our ability to build solutions that make healthcare better for our customers and their patients," said Katherine Truppi, president, Stryker's Joint Replacement division. "I look forward to continuing on this journey of innovation and to enhancing our joint replacement products and solutions, as well as expanding digital solutions."
