Description of Activities

Since 1995, Intuitive has advanced minimally invasive care through advanced robotic systems, end-to-end learning, and value-added services. As one of the pioneers of robotic-assisted surgery, our da Vinci surgical system is used today by surgeons to deliver a less invasive approach to many types of surgery. And when cancer is suspected in the lung, our Ion endoluminal system enables biopsy of small, hard-to-reach nodules. Working with physicians and hospitals around the world, we’re helping solve hard problems in healthcare.
