I still think one negative with the SPORT may be sterilization of the articulated arms, even though they are covered. If they are disposable, they are likely to be be expensive.
If they are not disposable, they will be more of a challenge to sterilize than an endoscope for example, since they cannot seal the working end because it must connect to the effectors. Source of contamination equals source of liability.

I know this discussion is outside the current chatter about financing and such, but there are real hurdles to overcome on the practical side of the technology. Let's hope Ximedica is as good as we think they are.
