Intuitive (Nasdaq: ISRG), a global leader in minimally invasive
care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery, today announced
the opening of its United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland
headquarters and training suite at Oxford Science Park’s
Schr�dinger Building.
“Oxford is internationally renowned for medical and scientific
innovation and we are proud to expand our collaboration with this
community that we think will help us advance surgical innovation
and improve patient outcomes,” said Intuitive CEO Gary Guthart.
“Oxford Science Park provides access to world-class engineering,
science, and clinical expertise that will prove valuable as we
deepen our work with the clinical community and health services in
the UK and Ireland,” said Guthart.
Intuitive first introduced da Vinci surgical systems in the UK
in 2000. Currently, UK and Ireland hospitals are home to more than
85 da Vinci surgical systems, which have been used in more than
85,000 procedures, with 18,000 procedures performed in 2018
alone.
“Intuitive is expanding its presence in the UK and
Ireland--doubling our personnel in the last 18 months—and we are
excited about our plans for continued growth here,” said Intuitive
UK and Eire Vice President and General Manager Phil Bradshaw.
“We’re absolutely thrilled Intuitive have chosen Oxfordshire for
its UK headquarters and welcome them to Oxford Science Park, a
crucial part of our world-leading science and technology cluster
that can be at the forefront of a future, globally-facing UK
economy,” said Nigel Tipple, chief executive of Oxfordshire Local
Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP).
Moving forward, Intuitive expects this new facility to offer a
selection of education and training programs and help showcase its
pipeline of products and services that will continue to augment the

About the da Vinci Surgical System
There are several models of the da Vinci surgical system. The da
Vinci surgical systems are designed to help surgeons perform
minimally invasive surgery. Da Vinci systems offer surgeons
high-definition 3D vision, a magnified view, and robotic and
computer assistance. They use specialized instrumentation,
including a miniaturized surgical camera and wristed instruments
(i.e., scissors, scalpels and forceps) that are designed to help
with precise dissection and reconstruction deep inside the
body.
