Intuitive Introduces da Vinci 5 for India’s Robotic Surgery
Intuitive has brought a new robot-assisted surgery system called da Vinci 5 to India.
The system helps surgeons perform operations through a robotic platform.
It builds on an earlier system called da Vinci Xi and includes more than 150 changes.
One new feature lets surgeons sense pushing and pulling forces on tissue through the controls.
It also has improved three-dimensional vision and an ergonomic console.
The system can help organize surgical tasks and provide more information to medical teams.
Selected hospitals will gain experience with it as robotic surgery grows in India.
It is approved for several types of surgery, including urologic, gynaecologic, general, cardiac, and thoracoscopic procedures.
Intuitive introduced its latest robotic-assisted surgical system, da Vinci 5, in India on September 19.
The system builds on da Vinci Xi and includes more than 150 enhancements, including Force Feedback and improved 3D vision.
Indian surgeons have used Intuitive’s da Vinci systems in more than 200,000 procedures to date.
Da Vinci 5 offers integrated workflows, greater computing power, new sensors, and data intended to support surgical performance.
The system is cleared in India for urologic, gynaecologic, general, cardiac, and thoracoscopic procedures.
