We created the da Vinci 5 Surgical System (da Vinci 5) with the goal of helping surgeons provide the best minimally invasive surgery to as many patients as possible. Redesigned from the inside out, da Vinci 5 brings more than 150 design innovations and 10,000x the computing power1 to deliver greater surgeon autonomy2, a more streamlined OR workflow, and advanced data analytics. With an eye toward improving patient outcomes now and into the future, we have enabled real-time collaboration and state-of-the-art analytic tools that deliver objective insights to personalize surgeon learning.

Meet the new da Vinci 5

Designed to enable better outcomes, more efficiency, and actionable insights.

An inside story

Da Vinci 5 is engineered from the inside out to enhance control and precision through unprecedented capabilities: heightening surgeons’ senses to help improve outcomes. Creating efficiency by providing increased surgeon autonomy and streamlined workflows. Actionable insights—delivered on a platform built for AI and machine learning—enable care teams to understand and optimize surgical performance like never before.

Surgical Senses

Designed for better outcomes by enhancing surgical senses

Better patient outcomes: this goal underscores everything we do. We aim to deliver these outcomes through enhanced surgical senses—by enabling Force Feedback technology, the best da Vinci vision system, and improved ergonomics.<sup>3</sup> Objective performance measurements on tissue will be available post-operatively for personal and training insights.
