Intuitive鈥檚 multi-port robotic-assisted surgical system, da Vinci聽5, has secured the CE mark approval for use in both adult and paediatric patients in Europe.
This approval allows the system to be utilised for a wide range of minimally invasive endoscopic procedures across abdominopelvic and thoracoscopic procedures, including those in gynaecology, urology, and general laparoscopy.
The system builds on the functional design of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System.
It features over 150 improvements, contributing to the da Vinci surgical system portfolio that has been leveraged in more than 410,000 procedures in Europe last year.
The system delivers improved surgical senses, including Force Feedback-enabled technology and an ergonomic surgeon console for supporting surgeon career longevity.
It also streamlines workflow with a universal user interface for care teams and integrates assistance to automate chosen tasks.

This provides surgeons with usable data aiding them to quantify, understand, and enhance their surgical performance.
Intuitive CEO Dave Rosa said: 鈥淎t Intuitive, we鈥檙e focused on providing healthcare systems across Europe and around the world with thoughtful innovation that solves problems today and into the future.
鈥淎fter over a decade of careful development, da Vinci 5 is the most advanced and integrated platform we鈥檝e ever created 鈥� designed to enable better outcomes, efficiency, and insights for the future of minimally invasive care.鈥�
Last year, da Vinci 5 was cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in various surgical procedures for adults, spanning general, gynaecology, urology, and thoracic.
