Stryker Micro Implant & Resorbable Solutions in Freiburg is now one of the world’s leading producers of implantation systems and surgical instruments for the head, hands and feet. Our navigation systems, produced at our Freiburg site, also support intraoperative navigation in neurosurgery, emergency surgery, orthopaedics, spinal surgery and ear, nose and throat surgery. We work towards continuously expanding and improving the treatment potentials for patients – in close collaboration with doctors and clinics.
