About MAKO Surgical Corp.:
MAKO Surgical Corp. is a privately held, emerging orthopedic medical device company developing advanced solutions for least invasive orthopedic surgery. Founded in November 2004, the company has developed and released the MAKO Haptic Guidance System™. This FDA-cleared, surgeon-interactive robotic system allows surgeons to provide an innovative therapy called MAKOplasty™ to a large, yet significantly underserved patient population suffering from early stage degenerative joint disease of the knee. MAKOplasty™ empowers orthopedic surgeons to improve patient outcomes, shorten recovery time and enhance post-operative lifestyle. On June 16, 2006, MAKO achieved a significant milestone with the first clinical use of the Haptic Guidance System™ in support of a unicondylar knee arthroplasty executed through a less invasive 2.5-inch incision.

MAKO Surgical Corp. has raised more than $25 million in venture capital financing to date for its proprietary technology, and has more than 230 patents and patent applications in the areas of robotics, haptics, robotic surgery, image guided surgery, implants and materials, with more than 100 inventions in its product pipeline.
