Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)

Postby helios » Sat Jul 25, 2009 11:57 am

I happened to do some intelligence research into minimally surgical robotics system in relation to one of my robot technologies ...

Noticed that someone has blogged on their lead product da Vinci robotic system, which is worthed as much as USD 1.5 Million per unit. Link: http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/07/2 ... e-surgical

If you accessed the stockchart at this point, you know what ISRG has soared extensively; one wonders if there is somemore upside to go since it is tip-toed into the supporting cloud-span region ... :?: :?:

Checking the chart later.

here's an excerpt from U.S. White paper (written in May 2009) that highlighted the importance of surgical robotics to U.S. manufacturing economy:

Robotics is a key transformative technology that can revolutionize manufacturing. American workers no longer aspire to low-level factory jobs and the cost of U.S. workers keeps rising due to insurance and healthcare costs. Even when workers are affordable, the next generation of miniaturized, complex products with short life-cycles requires assembly adaptability, precision, and reliability beyond the skills of human workers. Improved robotics and automation in manufacturing will: a) retain intellectual property and wealth that would go offshore
without it; b) save companies by making them more competitive; c) provide jobs for developing, producing, maintaining and training robots; d) allow factories to employ human-robot teams that leverage each others’ skills and strengths (e.g., human intelligence and dexterity with robot precision, strength, and repeatability), e) improve working conditions and reduce expensive medical problems; and (f) reduce
manufacturing lead time for finished goods, allowing systems to be more responsive to changes in retail demand. Indeed effective use of robotics will increase U.S. jobs, improve the quality of these jobs, and enhance our global competitiveness.

Whenever i hear of the word 'disruptive technology', i thought of Surgical Robots and how they can continue to change the future of surgery ...

2 weeks ago, i gave a presentation on how our robots are important to our economic and manufacturing landscape ...

2 days ago, i was at one of the local hospital operation threatre - witnessing how our miniturised Robot can assist the surgeons to perform the [minimally invasive surgical] prostate biopsy procedure. Traditionally, a prostate biopsy is not the safest or best way to diagnose for prostate cancer (size of the prostate was so fragile and small? could have bleeding complications if the surgeon is not careful?) ... However, this time, it was a "WOW" factor to be in the OT procedure; we literally saw the surgeon was actually the 'robot' performing the 24 needles aspirations like a click using the robot-guided transrectal ultrasound imaging (without using much of a guesswork); within 12 minutes, the biopsy was done!! ...

last evening, i was at the hospital again; we sat down with the engineers and clinician to 'thrash' out how our next robot to perform colon-rectal scanning could be improvised much further ... i'm looking forward for our first few clinical trial cases using the improvised prototype ...

here is a picture of the bench-marked robot, da Vinci Surgical System; Singapore has 2 of these i think in National Heart Centre (see Straits Times on Thursday); each system costs USD 1.5 Million ...

and so what you have posted above is implying that ISRG is selling such robotic technologies?

Seems like pharam-bio-medical companies are doing well yesterday.
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.
