Incorporated in 1995, Intuitive Surgical, Inc. designs, markets and manufactures da Vinci Surgical Systems as well as related accessories and instruments. The da Vinci® Surgical System of the company provides surgeons with enhanced dexterity, superior 3D HD visualization, greater control and precision and ergonomic comfort for effective performance of MIS (minimally invasive surgery).
The da Vinci System lets surgeons perform complicated procedures, such as cancer and heart valve surgery, through 1 to 2 cm incisions. The system also allows hospitals to extend the MIS benefits to more patients by offering hospitals with improved operational efficiencies and productivity. Greater operational efficiencies might lead to lower rate of infections and complications, reduced need for post-operative pain management and blood transfusions, and shorter period of stay.
Presently, the da Vinci® Surgical System is the global leader in robotic-assisted MIS, and its executives are committed to the success of customers, patients, shareholders and employees.
