Talking Robotics with Zimmer Biomet

Medtech Matters

In this episode of Medtech Matters, a podcast focused on the medical device manufacturing industry and the factors impacting it, we speak with Liane Teplitsky, vice president and worldwide general manager of robotics at Zimmer Biomet. She provides some background on how we arrived at where we are today, what’s driving the robotic surgery movement, what the latest with the company’s Rosa system is, and what’s ahead. Specifically, we pose the following questions to him.

• What’s the latest with Zimmer Biomet and the Rosa system?
• Why have robotic surgical technologies exploded in the orthopedic space?
• What’s been the overall reception by surgeons to these systems?
• How is data informatics playing a role in robotic surgical systems?
• With the incorporation of AI and machine learning, are we at the early stages of physician-assisted surgeries, where the robot is doing more of the procedure and the surgeon is supervising?

Listen to this episode and see what you think of Zimmer Biomet’s strategy for robotic surgery. If you’d like to share thoughts, ask questions, or suggest a future participant for Medtech Matters, please reach out to me at [e-mail].
