Explore the Intuitive Ecosystem’s advanced technology

Instruments and vision

Instruments and vision
Maximize control with Force Feedback, multifunctional tools, and 3DHD vision. Designed to enhance reach, precision, and stability, Ion affords access to all lung segments.

Portfolio of instruments

Deliver precise, minimally invasive care with da Vinci instruments, offering magnified movement control, tremor reduction, and adjustable hand-to-instrument ratios for a range of procedures.

Stapling and energy

Reduce uncertainty and improve stapling performance to support transection and resection in deep, tight spaces with complete control, full articulation, and intelligent feedback. Maximize efficiency with da Vinci Energy: it's faster, cooler, and more effective.

Biopsy instruments

Leverage biopsy instruments with fiber-optic shape sensing for precise navigation by measuring catheter shape hundreds of times per second. Ion's ultrathin, ultra-maneuverable catheter enables clinicians to reach small lung lesions in all 18 segments with enhanced reach, precision, and stability.¹

Vision and imaging

Our vision and imaging technologies deliver an immersive experience, enabling clear visualization of tissue planes, accurate identification of structures, and maintaining orientation within the anatomy. Ion's integrated CBCT imaging allows you to refine navigation and verify tool-in-lesion.

Software and applications

Maximize capability and uptime with software seamlessly integrated with our digital ecosystem and powering remote diagnostics for proactive reviews and real-time evaluations.

OnSite technology

Maximize system uptime and performance with Intuitive’s OnSite technology. Proactive monitoring and remote diagnostics help sustain peak performance and software updates are delivered as soon as they are available.

Operating systems

Our software updates deliver the latest product capabilities and enhancements, improving workflow with new features and user interface optimizations. Updates can be delivered remotely, allowing your systems to be updated at your convenience. Ion's PlanPoint software, accessible from your planning laptop, helps strategize robotic-assisted bronchoscopy navigation and biopsy.²

Safety features

Our safety features create an environment where surgeons and care teams can rely on the technology and focus on what matters most: improving patient outcomes.

Scale and efficiency

Boost throughput and reduce procedure times through workflow integration and seamless scale.

Hardware integrations

Surgeons can manage all components needed for procedures from the console, maximizing autonomy¹ and helping to reduce care team workload. By reducing setup and streamlining OR workflow, da Vinci 5 may lead to shorter procedure times² with the potential to increase throughput. Ion receives 3D images on demand during the procedure, enabling updated target locations and precise catheter adjustments to perform the biopsy.

Digital technology integrations

Improve individual and program performance through enhanced learning with offerings like SimNow 2 or Telepresence, which enables real-time case observation, collaboration, and mentoring, bridging the gap between distance and connection. Case Insights utilizes surgical video and data to objectively assess surgical performance and provide personalized training.

Physician autonomy features

We enhance autonomy¹ through component control at your fingertips, increasing operational efficiency and helping hospitals address staffing challenges. Da Vinci 5 extends Intuitive technology with the potential for surgeons to reach more patients, reduce procedure times¹ and increase throughput.

Thoracic Surgeon, Our Lady of the Lake Health

“Intuitive and Ion have changed everything for us in terms of how we approach lung cancer. We're getting more patients to the operating room. The next phase that's really exciting is looking at how many of those patients are now still alive years later because of that lifesaving technology and the ecosystem built around it.”
