Okay - so this is all just wild speculation with a click bait title... but now you're here stick with me it will all make sense...
What an absolutely gorgeous lap tower Intuitive have created with their romper stomping Da Vinci 5 soft tissue surgical robot. I've been screaming pretty loud that their central "power tower" is a super capable full on laparoscopic tower with the ability to be used with full NIR - Near Infra Red (ICG) - a massively capable energy chain, a world class insufflation chain and loaded to the gils with next gen compute power. WHY?
Well besides utterly dominating the robotics space by making their DV5 the undisputed king of the big format robots - it does open up the trojan horse of getting to all of those juicy lap procedures.
