Yahoo Finance Intuitive Surgical Ready for More Growth
The company’s da Vinci 5 equipment gained regulatory approval in March and is designed to make surgery less invasive, faster, and completed with a higher degree of accuracy. In short, it aims to quickly deliver better health outcomes for patients. Plus, its advanced computing power is ready to benefit from AI improvements.
