Intuitive Surgical Reveals New Da Vinci Xi Surgical System - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Surgical systems maker Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISRG) reported the FDA clearance and U.S. launch of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, a technological leap forward in replacing large-incision abdominal surgeries (open surgery) with a minimally invasive approach.

Wih broader capabilities than prior generations of the da Vinci System, the da Vinci Xi System can be used across a wide spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures and has been optimized for complex, multi-quadrant surgeries.

The da Vinci Surgical Systems have provided patients with a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery that reduces many of the costs and complications associated with open procedures for over a decade. Intuitive Surgical designed the new da VinciXi System with the goal of further advancing the technology used in minimally invasive surgery for complex diseases and conditions in gynecology, urology, thoracic, cardiac, and general surgery.

With the U.S. introduction now underway, Intuitive Surgical would be seeking regulatory clearances to market the da Vinci Xi System worldwide.
