Insights
Intuitive's FDA clearance for Vessel Sealer Curved enhances their da Vinci system's capabilities in tight anatomical spaces.
Intuitive has secured FDA clearance for their new Vessel Sealer Curved instrument, representing a meaningful advancement in their advanced energy instrumentation lineup. This new tool is designed for use with their multiport da Vinci robotic surgery systems.
The key innovation here is the instrument's curved jaw design, which allows surgeons to more effectively navigate tight anatomical spaces and work around critical structures. This design follows natural anatomical contours, potentially improving surgical precision and visibility during complex procedures.
Notably, this is Intuitive's first advanced energy instrument to receive FDA clearance specifically for lymphatic vessel transection. The device combines multiple functions - sealing, cutting, grasping, and dissecting tissue - in a single instrument with a mechanical blade that cuts closer to the tip for enhanced dissection capabilities.
From a clinical perspective, this clearance expands Intuitive's addressable procedures. The instrument is cleared for grasping and blunt dissection, bipolar coagulation, and mechanical transection of blood vessels up to 7mm in diameter, along with lymphatic vessels and tissue bundles.
This product advancement aligns with Intuitive's three-decade focus on improving minimally invasive care. The company reports nearly 17 million da Vinci procedures performed to date and approximately 90,000 trained surgeons. The new instrument should help Intuitive maintain its leadership position in the robotic surgery market by addressing surgeon needs for greater precision in challenging anatomical environments.
Intuitive鈥檚 latest advanced energy instrument features a unique curved tip for enhanced precision
SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intuitive (Nasdaq: ISRG), a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery, today announced that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its latest innovation in advanced energy instrumentation for use with its multiport da Vinci systems.
Vessel Sealer Curved is a fully wristed, advanced bipolar electrosurgical instrument designed to seal, cut, grasp, and dissect tissue. It is the first of Intuitive鈥檚 advanced energy instruments to receive FDA clearance for the transection of lymphatic vessels.
Vessel Sealer Curved offers enhanced multifunctionality and precision via its slim, curved jaw designed to follow the natural contours of anatomy, helping improve visibility and control especially in tight spaces and around critical structures. The instrument鈥檚 mechanical blade cuts closer to the tip, offering versatility as a dissector.
鈥淲e designed Vessel Sealer Curved to give surgeons greater precision in narrow anatomical spaces,鈥� said Iman Jeddi, PhD, senior vice president and general manager, da Vinci platforms & product operations. 鈥淏y combining the trusted performance of Vessel Sealer Extend with a slimmer, curved jaw profile, we鈥檙e helping surgeons work more efficiently and confidently across a wide range of procedures.鈥�
The FDA cleared Vessel Sealer Curved for grasping and blunt dissection of tissue, as well as bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of blood vessels (veins and arteries) up to 7mm in diameter, lymphatic vessels, and tissue bundles that fit within the instrument鈥檚 jaws. Vessel Sealer Curved is not indicated for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures and should not be used for these procedures.
2025 marks Intuitive鈥檚 30th year developing robotic-assisted technology with the goal of improving patient outcomes, improving patient and care team experience, increasing access to minimally invasive care, and lowering the total cost to treat. In Intuitive's first three decades, surgeons performed nearly 17 million da Vinci procedures, and nearly 90,000 surgeons have been trained to use Intuitive鈥檚 systems.
