Stereotaxis alternatives

Stereotaxis, founded in St. Louis in 1990, pioneered Robotic Magnetic Navigation: magnets mounted on robotic arms beside the operating table generate computer-controlled fields that steer the tips of magnetic catheters and guidewires through blood vessels and the chambers of the heart. It is a minimally invasive, endovascular approach aimed at hospitals and electrophysiology labs, sold across the United States, Europe and Asia, and the company is listed on NYSE American under the ticker STXS. Stryker's Mako platform brings robotic-arm assistance to orthopaedic joint surgery, with systems installed in 47 countries, according to the company. Zimmer Biomet's ROSA Robotics family applies robotic assistance across orthopaedics and neurosurgery, sold through the group's global orthopaedics organisation. Distalmotion, based in Epalinges near Lausanne, applies robotics to soft-tissue surgery with DEXTER, reporting about US$390 million raised and a team of roughly 220 people. PROCEPT BioRobotics narrows the field to one specialty: from San Jose, its Aquablation therapy treats enlarged prostate with a heat-free waterjet, delivered by its HYDROS system cleared in the United States, the EU and the UK, and the company is listed on NASDAQ. Stereotaxis is the choice when the work is endovascular and catheter-based; Mako and ROSA anchor orthopaedic programmes, Distalmotion covers soft-tissue procedures, and PROCEPT is the dedicated urology route.
