We‘re honored to take part in the CHEST 2024 conference in Boston. Meeting with physicians across the chest medicine spectrum is always enlightening. And this year, we’re excited to be here to unveil our latest innovations to the Ion robotic bronchoscopy system: three groundbreaking updates that further enhance the system’s navigational accuracy while laying the foundation for planning beyond biopsy in the future. Updates to the Ion system and PlanPoint software include advanced planning and navigation features that enhance visibility to critical anatomical structures, such as vasculature, and allow physicians to mark precise areas of interest within or around a target nodule. Ion’s enhanced cone-beam CT integration now interfaces directly with both Siemens Healthineers’ Cios Spin and GE Healthcare’s OEC 3D, furthering the ability to correct for CT-to-body divergence and improve workflow efficiency. And My Intuitive now enables Ion physicians to track case information and use their performance data to generate insights that help improve their practices. These recent innovations are part of our continuing quest to transform the future of lung care. Why? Because your patients deserve early, complete answers.

Having this new innovative technology available for our patients to access is game changing,” said Dr. Haval Balata, Respiratory Physician and Clinical Lead for the newly introduced Ion robotic bronchoscopy service at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. Balata and others at Wythenshawe Hospital, one of the first European hospitals to install the Ion endoluminal system for lung biopsies, are hoping to cut months off lung cancer diagnosis and care by using Ion to biopsy suspicious lung nodules that were too small or hard to reach with traditional biopsy methods. https://lnkd.in/efGs5W-J * For risks, cautions, and warnings and full prescribing information, refer to the associated Ion System user manual(s).

Moving surgery forward. Again. Imagine having the ability to deliver #RoboticAssistedSurgery through a single incision—potentially opening the door to the next era of surgical innovation. The Intuitive da Vinci SP® system’s unique patient cart design, instruments optimized for single-port surgery, and articulating endoscope is making it a reality.

Where has your curiosity led you? Da Vinci senior clinical senior representative Meika Miller, MBA was “always the inquisitive type,” she says. “In the interview process, when I recognized that one of the characteristics Intuitive sought was curiosity, I knew this was the place for me.” Meika joined Intuitive in 2021 and has been growing her Sales career ever since. She credits the support of her team and a patients-first mindset with her success and personal fulfillment she’s found here. Outside of work, Meika spends time with her husband and four children, and she looks forward to continuing her journey at Intuitive, always following this advice from her grandmother: “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.” Because, as Meika explains, “If you’re always in the comfortable place, you’re not growing, you’re not stretching. When I joined Intuitive, my shoulders grew broader. Because it is a responsibility that I don’t take lightly. I want to be my best self for the patient.” Curious where a career at Intuitive might take you? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e-B7NdMi #WeAreIntuitive

We built Ion on the belief that collecting lung tissue samples for biopsy could be safe and simple, even when lung nodules are small and located in hard-to-reach places. Our goal was to help shorten the patient journey to lung cancer diagnosis and care. Preliminary results of the CONFIRM study presented at the AABIP conference tell us we’re getting there. Why does it matter? Because patients told they have a suspicious lung nodule shouldn’t have to wait for answers.

At Intuitive, our mission is paramount: enhancing minimally invasive care to help doctors change lives around the world drives everything we do. For our team, that means knowing our work has a meaningful affect—it pushes us to innovate and inspires us to do better every day. We’re excited to share these stories of our curious and driven employees moving our mission forward while having an undeniable impact: https://lnkd.in/eMJ2YPSs #WeAreIntuitive

At the point where inspired surgeons meet innovative technologies, there is a spark—an opportunity for change. In that spirit, we were proud to introduce the Society of Black Academic Surgeons to da Vinci at last week's #SBASUCDavis2024. Built from nearly three decades of experience integrating robotics technology with advanced software, da Vinci systems deliver precision, vision, and control. But technology itself doesn't ensure access to minimally invasive care. Access starts with education, mentorship, and collaboration. We’re better, more insightful, and more innovative—together. That’s Intuitive.
