About the company: Intuitive Surgical is at the forefront of surgical robotics. Founded by Frederic Moll in 1995 and based in Sunnyvale, California, Intuitive developed the da Vinci robot-assisted surgery system, which received FDA approval for general laparoscopic surgery in 2000 before subsequent approvals for prostate surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, cardiac procedures performed with adjunctive incisions, and gynecologic procedures. As of 2020, a total of 67 countries house da Vinci systems, and 8.5 million procedures have been performed with the platform. Led by CEO Gary Guthart, the company also develops the Ion endoluminal system for minimally invasive peripheral lung biopsies. –SW
