ROSA / OrthoGrid — not an AI result

What they are doing

Implant company with a robot attach. Same shape as Stryker. Q2: Technology & Data +21.5%, record capital sales from ROSA with OptimiZe and TMINI, US technology +50%, early ROSA Shoulder. OrthoGrid called AI-based navigation — strongest quarter, first-half 2026 cases equal all of 2025. 10-K: ZBEdge uses data, analytics and artificial intelligence. Capital sales and case counts are hardware volume. Do not promote them the way we refused 2.5 million Mako procedures.

Why the score

  • Reach 2 not 3: ROSA / OptimiZe plus OrthoGrid are the tech attach. ZBEdge is the label.
  • Weight 3 not 4: the robot changes the joint sale. That is not an intelligence result.
  • Proof 2 not 3: +50% US tech and OrthoGrid case counts are hardware volume.

What would move it next quarter: An outcome or attach on OptimiZe / OrthoGrid / WalkAI — not another capital-sales print.
