Business profile

Updated

Intuitive Surgical, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, provides technology used by hospitals, surgeons, physicians and care teams in minimally invasive procedures. Its core offering is the da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical platform, which is used across general, urologic, gynecologic, cardiothoracic, head and neck, and other surgical specialties. The company also sells the Ion endoluminal system, a robotic catheter platform for minimally invasive lung biopsies.

A da Vinci system lets a surgeon sit at a console and view a three-dimensional, high-definition image of the surgical field. The surgeon’s hand movements are translated into small movements of instruments inside the patient. The range includes multi-port da Vinci 5, X, Xi and Si systems, plus the single-port da Vinci SP system for procedures through one incision or a natural orifice.
