Explainers

Plain-language answers to the questions people ask about Stryker, from DEPLOY’s explainer library. Each is written in the language of the question and cross-checked against this registry.

What is Stryker Mako?
Stryker Mako is a large-footprint CT-based robotic-arm-assisted orthopedic surgical system from Stryker (NYSE: SYK; HQ Portage, MI per Agent A correction, NOT Kalamazoo). Mako was acquired in 2013 via Stryker's $1.65B acquisition of MAKO Surgical. Per Agent A orthopedic ingest: FDA-cleared multi-procedure (partial + total + cementless knee + hip + hip-revision + spine via K241517 + shoulder via K242373); CT-based pre-op planning + robotic-arm-assisted intra-op execution. AI-augmented surgeon-controlled assistance (NOT autonomous; software plans/tracks/bounds, surgeon makes the cuts); same assistive class as Intuitive da Vinci, framed honestly + consistently across the cohort. Editorial throughline: large-footprint orthopedic market-leader archetype within the surgical cluster's orthopedic sub-cohort; multi-procedure platform spanning knee + hip + spine + shoulder; SEC-disclosed parent-company verification depth.Read the full explainer →
Why does DEPLOY surface Stryker as headquartered in Portage, MI, not Kalamazoo?
Common framing across press coverage + aggregator listings + secondary references identifies Stryker Corporation as headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Per Agent A primary-source verification against SEC 10-K filings, Stryker is headquartered in **Portage, Michigan**, not Kalamazoo. Small fact. Foundational at the framework-discipline layer. The Stryker headquarters correction is the canonical worked example of small-fact discipline cuts uniformly: DEPLOY reads single-city location identification at the same primary-source verification depth as $5.6B-vs-$11B valuation corrections + Doug-Unis-CMO-vs-CEO leadership corrections + corporate-state-transition multi-fact precision. The framework operates at per-claim depth; per-claim depth doesn't scale with company size or fact magnitude. This piece documents the catch as framework-in-action worked example demonstrating small-fact discipline + primary-source verification at single-city location identification depth + uniform application of the framework across granularity.Read the full explainer →
Which surgical robot is most deployed?
Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci: 11,106 systems installed worldwide as of Dec 31, 2025 per its 10-K, roughly an order of magnitude ahead of every soft-tissue competitor. Stryker Mako is the only credible challenger on procedure volume, via orthopedics.Read the full explainer →
What is the cheapest surgical robot?
Distalmotion's Dexter, at roughly $500K-$1M (2025 analyst estimate), is the cheapest FDA-cleared general soft-tissue surgical robot on record, undercutting da Vinci ($1.5M-$2.5M) and Versius ($750K-$1M).Read the full explainer →
