ORTHOWORLD is proud to announce the winners of the 2026 OMTEC Excellence Awards. Presented annually at OMTEC—the Orthopaedic Manufacturing & Technology Exposition and Conference—the awards honor orthopedic device manufacturers with technologies that transform patient care, elevate surgeon performance, and advance manufacturing capabilities. The 2026 awards will be celebrated during OMTEC’s 20th anniversary event, taking place this June in Chicago.
2026 OMTEC Excellence Award Winners:
Stryker is recognized for the development of the Triathlon Gold femoral knee, the latest advancement in the company’s Triathlon knee portfolio.
“We are honored to receive the OMTEC Excellence Award for Triathlon Gold. With more than 20 years of proven outcomes, the Triathlon system has set a high standard in knee replacement,” said Lisa Kloes, Vice President and General Manager of Stryker’s Knee business. “Stryker’s continued innovation in additive manufacturing is helping drive the next evolution of that legacy with Triathlon Gold, offering an option for patients with metal sensitivity concerns.”
THINK Surgical is honored for its TMINI System, an implant-agnostic robotic platform compatible with nine FDA-cleared implant vendor partners.
Jon Gibson, Vice President of Marketing at THINK Surgical, said, “We are changing the paradigm in joint replacement robotics with our CT-based, handheld, wireless TMINI System and disrupting the business model of closed platform systems. Open platform is the future of this market, and we believe this disruption benefits surgeons, hospitals, ASCs and patients.”
Carlsmed is recognized for advancing personalized spine surgery through its aprevo platform, which combines patient-specific surgical planning with 3D-printed cervical and lumbar spinal implants. The company’s technology has earned two FDA Breakthrough Device Designations and benefits from CMS reimbursement pathways, reflecting a growing shift toward personalized orthopedic solutions.
Mike Cordonnier, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Carlsmed, said, “Our commitment to innovation will continue as we expand access to our data-driven personalized surgery solutions.”
