About INTUITIVE SURGICAL, INC. (NASDAQ:ISRG)

The da Vinci Surgical System provides its operating surgeons with control, range of motion, tissue manipulation solution and three-dimensional (3-D), high-definition vision. It allows surgeons to work through the small ports enabled by minimally invasive surgery procedures. Its da Vinci Surgery utilizes computational, robotic and imaging technologies.
