Titan Medical Inc (TMDIF)

That's the only Korean company that has been mentioned in any context on this board over the past 2 years as I recall.
Samsung has the resources to undertake any type of project they want, including surgical robotics. However, I fail to see what advantage there could in any connection between ISRG and Samsung. Unless ISRG would license their arm technology. Anyway, Samsung and other Japanese robotics companies could develop something better now themselves than daVinci.
I'll tell you one thing, we are lucky Titan is Canadian, and working with Ximedica who offers strong regulatory navigation services. I'm hearing from more and more U.S. medical companies, new and existing, for whom the cost and complexity of FDA over-regulation is preventing new products from even being developed.
