Mako and Stryker

Do you think this union will be something that senior management should take quick notice of? We are seeing in our area already a shift in our business in strong Mako accounts that are now using stryker to back up their cases where we used to. Also in areas where Stryker agents are strong, I think its going to become a real problem. Mako will open up our doors to Stryker reps, agents, general managers. trust me it is happening already and the deal is not even closed from what I know.

Please no bs here, I want honest opinions

Nice try Mako/Stryker whoever.
 






nope. not worried about it. speed up the procedure, get some clinical data, and come out with something comparable or better to persona - then we'll talk.

there's no doubt robotic assisted surgery will play a larger role in the future of orthopedics, but I don't see it catching on for at least another five years.

open up the door for the stryker people to get in front of your surgeons and its going to cause some loss of business. Stryker fills the Mako product holes nicely and they will allow stryker recon to get in front of your drs
 



Keep in mind navigation. SYK sucked there. Also keep in mind Intuitive. The real users of the daVinci are the OB/GYN's because they have no laparoscopic surgical skills. All the robot does is increase cost tremendously. The new Affordablecare won't pay for that kind of cost.

Stryker rep here: Corp is all in just back from NSM: You are wrong Mako has changed the PKA market and HOW uni;s are put in, Intuitive is a poor example as the sell disposables not implants Mako has kicked our ass in uni's I know first hand the stole biomet business and with our strength it will steamroll

not sure on the hip but I know mid volume users like it TBD; if you have mako business and you are currently on standby if it goes to a total I promise you the total will be stryker

MAKO was a good purchase for SYK. I have three current Persona users who also use Mako on their pfa/UNI patients. The concern is that since MAKO is brining them patients, that SYK will leverage that business to turn TKA over. Persona is working great for me, but you can't sell against a platform that drives a customer's patient book. It's a problem.

Just heard from my Stryker rep that they and MAKO are all on one team and they will now both be compensated for Mako procedures! He smiled and said let the games begin. Reason why it came up is this was a Zuk user who is now trying Mako Styrker as backup TKA not me BTW he uses stryker hips

we had better wake up
