Kalamazoo, Michigan-based Stryker says Ortho Q is the only fully autonomous system in the industry. Surgeons can easily control the platform from the sterile field. It combines new optical tracking options through a redesigned, state-of-the-art camera.
According to a news release, Ortho Q features sophisticated algorithms as part of the new software. This helps to deliver additional surgical planning and guidance capabilities. Ortho Q serves as a planning intraoperative guidance system for the Express Knee, Precision Knee and Versatile Hip offerings. Stryker said it enhances procedural speed and efficiency through a smart, streamlined workflow.
Ortho Q features a robotics-ready platform with dual PCs and a quick-refresh camera. Its implant-agnostic software gives surgeons options on implants to help meet the needs of the entire service line in one platform. Stryker said its Triathlon implant-dedicated software offers additional clinical feedback. Finally, the system has a small footprint to enable use in the operating room and ambulatory surgery center settings.
“Ortho Q was designed specifically for our orthopedic customers and is the culmination of a multiyear collaboration between teams in India, Germany and the United States. This platform builds a foundation for the future of orthopedic surgical capability,” said Bill Scott, VP and GM of Stryker’s Orthopaedic Instruments business.
