About Intuitive's Products:
The da Vinci(R) Surgical System consists of a surgeon's viewing and
control console having an integrated, high-performance InSite(R) 3D, high
definition vision system, a patient-side cart consisting of three or four
robotic arms that position and precisely maneuver endoscopic instruments and
an endoscope, and a variety of articulating EndoWrist(R)Instruments. By
integrating computer-enhanced technology with surgeons' technical skills,
