Zimmer Biomet
[PUBLIC]Service & Cobot Robotics · HQ: Warsaw, IN · Est. in 2002 in Montpellier by Bertin Nahum, which built ROSA Brain and ROSA Spine; Zimmer Biomet acquired Medtech SA in 2016 at fifty euros per share and extended the ROSA arm into orthopedics. The current Zimmer Biomet variants are ROSA Knee for total knee arthroplasty, cleared January 25, 2019 and enhanced as ROSA Knee with OptimiZe cleared November 14, 2025, ROSA Hip for direct anterior total hip arthroplasty cleared August 18, 2021, ROSA ONE Brain for cranial neurosurgery including biopsy, stereo-electro-encephalography, deep brain stimulation, and ventricular and transnasal endoscopy cleared February 11, 2019, and ROSA Shoulder for shoulder arthroplasty cleared in February 2024. ROSA ONE Spine, cleared in 2019, left Zimmer Biomet in the March 2022 ZimVie spinoff and is no longer a Zimmer Biomet product. A registry nuance worth recording is that autonomy enters Zimmer Biomet's portfolio separately through its Monogram Technologies acquisition, completed October 7, 2025, which brings a CT-based semi-autonomous total-knee robot and a fully-autonomous version in development; this is kept distinct from ROSA, whose surgeon-controlled status is unchanged. Installed-base figures circulating in aggregators conflict and none is asserted here. · 1 model registered · 2 deployments
As of Sep 2026, DEPLOY verifies Zimmer Biomet: 1 model, 2 deployments across 2 regions, 15 active incidents. 3 sources back the record.
