Just an opinion here, but the articulated snake arms on SPORT will be an expensive component themselves, and "difficult" to clean/sterilize compared to straight stick components. That is irrespective of them being shielded since guaranteeing and testing for sterility behind shielding is itself difficult. I trust Titan knows this and is designing for it, but there may not be economic advantages over daVinci in terms of reusables because of that.

Well over 10k shares myself and hoping to add 5k more soon. I am on a medical devices approval commitee for a world-renowned hospital. I don't say world-renowned lightly,either. Reuse-performance liability and disinfection liability are MAJOR concerns that Titan will need to address in a administrative buyer's mind, even if the surgeons are gung-ho. Unfortunate, but true.
