About Intuitive

Intuitive is the Sunnyvale, California company that effectively created the modern surgical robotics industry. Founded in 1995, it develops, manufactures and markets robotic-assisted platforms that let surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures through small incisions, working from a console with wristed instruments and magnified 3D vision. Its flagship product line is the da Vinci surgical system, now in its fifth generation, complemented by the Ion endoluminal system, which extends the same approach into diagnostic bronchoscopy for lung biopsies. Around the hardware sits a full ecosystem of instruments, stapling and energy devices, imaging, training programs, simulation and data services aimed at hospitals and surgical teams.

The scale of adoption is the company’s defining fact: more than 12,000 Intuitive systems are installed around the world, systems are in use in over 70 countries, and more than 20 million patients have received procedures performed with its technology. Intuitive sells and supports its platforms directly in major markets and through distributors elsewhere, and it works with hospitals on training and program support rather than simply shipping equipment. It is listed here as the reference company for surgical robotics — the largest installed base in the medical robot category worldwide, and the benchmark against which newer entrants in the field are measured.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	6 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
