Intuitive is the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning. It is often described as a "gut feeling" or sixth sense.
Intuitive is a technology company that specializes in developing robotic-assisted surgical systems. The company was founded in 1995 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. Intuitive’s mission is to make surgery less invasive and more precise, and to improve patient outcomes.
Intuitive’s flagship product is the da Vinci Surgical System, a robotic-assisted surgical system that is used in a variety of surgical procedures. The da Vinci system is designed to provide surgeons with enhanced visualization, precision, and control during surgery. The system consists of a surgeon’s console, a patient-side cart, and four robotic arms. The surgeon sits at the console and uses a 3D high-definition vision system and master controls to maneuver the robotic arms, which are designed to mimic the movements of the surgeon’s hands. The da Vinci system is used in a variety of surgical procedures, including general surgery, gynecology, urology, and cardiothoracic surgery.
In addition to the da Vinci system, Intuitive also offers a range of other products and services. These include the Ion Endoluminal System, which is used for minimally invasive procedures, and the Firefly Fluorescence Imaging System, which is used to help surgeons identify tissue during surgery. Intuitive also provides training and support services to help surgeons and hospitals get the most out of their robotic-assisted surgical systems.
Intuitive is committed to improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of robotic-assisted surgery. The company is constantly innovating and developing new technologies to make surgery less invasive and more precise. Intuitive’s products and services are helping to revolutionize the way surgery is performed, and are making a positive impact on patient outcomes.
