Stryker introduced the newest additions to the Triathlon Total Knee System, the expanded Mako SmartRobotics portfolio and continued evolution of the power tool portfolio at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' (AAOS) 2026 Annual Meeting in New Orleans.
Triathlon Gold: Building on the legacy and trusted performance of the Triathlon system, Triathlon Gold is Stryker's first commercially available femoral component, designed as an option for patients with metal sensitivity concerns. Using additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, it features a Titanium nitride surface and Triathlon cementless technology designed to deliver fixation and long-term durability3 with scratch resistance superior to competitive surfaces, and the flexibility for both cemented and cementless workflows.
Triathlon Medial Stabilized (MS) Insert: Another advancement in the Triathlon Total Knee System, the MS Insert allows customers to leverage the advantages of Mako SmartRobotics and Triathlon Cementless technologies, now with your preferred tibial insert. The MS Insert is designed to provide enhanced stability for Triathlon primary knee patients, while allowing more natural rotational kinematics.
Mako Shoulder: Now in full market release, Mako Shoulder is designed to transform primary reverse shoulder surgery by simplifying complex clinical tasks, giving surgeons confidence in executing their procedure to plan. The platform integrates Tornier Perform Reversed shoulder implants, Blueprint planning software and Mako SmartRobotics to deliver a comprehensive, connected solution. Mako Shoulder will also be available on Mako 4 in the second half of 2026.
Mako RPS: Previously announced, the newest addition to join the Mako family is Mako RPS (Robotic Power System) for Total Knee. Compatible with Stryker's Triathlon Total Knee System, Mako RPS is a handheld robotic system that combines Stryker's proven robotics and power tool legacies and represents Mako's solution for a subset of surgeons looking for the familiarity of a manual power tool while leveraging the advantages of enabling technology.
BPX and TPX HD: New introductions to the power tools portfolio include the BPX cordless micro power tool system for extremities procedures and TPX HD, a comprehensive solution built for the needs of total joint revisions, trauma and minimally invasive foot and ankle surgeries with enhanced power, customizable control, and specialized attachments capable of cutting through metal and bone cement.
