Intuitive Surgical, Inc.
Intuitive Surgical is haptic to meet you. Employing haptics (the science of computer-aided touch sensitivity), the firm has developed the da Vinci Surgical System, a combination of software, hardware, and optics that allows doctors to perform robotically aided surgery from a remote console. The da Vinci system reproduces the doctor's hand movements in real time, with surgery performed by tiny electromechanical arms and instruments inserted in the patient's body through small incisions. The company also makes the instruments and accessories used with its system. Intuitive Surgical sells its products in the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe through both a direct sales force and independent distributors.
