0%Stryker has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for Sonopet 3, the latest version of its ultrasonic bone and soft tissue removal platform. The company announced the news on October 14, 2026. Stryker developed the platform with input from hundreds of surgeons. It offers more power, precision and versatility, along with two technologies: RISE, which connects the surgical workflow, and Pulse Control, which helps regulate the resection of hard and soft tissues. "They told us they wanted more power, improved ergonomics and enhanced integration," said Mitch Foley, vice president and general manager of Stryker's Neurosurgical business. The first clinical cases are expected to begin in October. A full commercial launch is planned for later this fall.
Stryker (NYSE:SYK) shares have fallen 20% over the past six months to $277.82, while the S&P 500 gained 12.8%. The medical device maker develops orthopedic, surgical, neurotechnology, and patient care products that reach over 150 million patients a year. Organic revenue, which excludes acquisitions, divestitures, and currency swings, grew an average of 9.2% year-on-year over the past two years. That suggests Stryker can expand without costly acquisitions. Revenue over the past 12 months was $25.84 billion. Its scale gives it leverage with suppliers in a heavily regulated, competitive market. Free cash flow margin rose 6.5 percentage points over five years to 18.2% for the trailing 12 months. After the drop, the stock trades at 17.4× forward earnings.
Stryker announced a $400 million (£300 million) preferred equity investment in CMR Surgical on Monday. The money will support innovation and global expansion of CMR's Versius surgical robotics portfolio. The deal also gives Stryker an exclusive option to acquire 100% of CMR Surgical.
