da Vinci 5 is the latest generation of the da Vinci family of robotic surgical systems made by Intuitive Surgical. The da Vinci family is a minimally invasive surgery platform consisting of a surgeon's console (typically in the same room as the patient) and a patient-side cart with interactive robotic arms serving as cutting instruments, graspers and camera control, among others. da Vinci systems received initial FDA clearance in 2000 and are used in urology, gynecology, general laparoscopy and other fields. NOTE: the specific technical parameters of the da Vinci 5 model (e.g. force feedback, compute power, exact launch date) could not be confirmed here because Intuitive's official product pages are dynamically rendered and their content could not be retrieved; they require verification against the manufacturer's materials.
