Intuitive | da Vinci Robotic Assisted Surgical Systems

Focused on what matters most

Intuitive, maker of the da Vinci^® surgical system and Ion^® endoluminal system, was founded with a simple belief: Medical intervention should help people recover as quickly and completely as possible. In more than two decades working closely with care teams and hospital leaders, we’ve learned that human understanding, smart systems and instruments, and digital insights are needed to enable better outcomes. We call this Intelligent Surgery. And, with six million procedures performed by tens of thousands of surgeons worldwide, we’re more passionate than ever about innovating for minimally invasive care.
