Mazor Robotics

Mazor Robotics, an Israeli medical device company, was acquired by Medtronic in 2018 for $1.7 billion. The company specialized in the development of robotic guidance systems for spine surgery. Its flagship product, the Mazor X Stealth Edition, is a robotic guidance platform that combines advanced software, robotic technology, navigation, and instrumentation to assist surgeons in spinal procedures.

The system allows for pre-operative or intra-operative planning, with features like customizable implant selection and 3D analytics. It is designed to provide precise positioning of surgical instruments or spinal implants during both open and minimally invasive surgeries. By integrating with Medtronic's existing spine implants, navigation, and intra-operative imaging technologies, the Mazor platform aims to create a safer and more efficient surgical environment for patients and surgeons.

The technology is now part of Medtronic's broader portfolio of surgical robotics, and it continues to be a significant player in the market for robot-assisted spine surgery.
