ORrep8, I agree with you. Ethicon already makes tools for Intuitive, that's a known fact. So my thought was, if they decide to make tooling for Titan, should not be a big deal since they make it for Intuitive UNLESS they are also deciding to invest in SPORT. JnJ stated on March 27 they were partnering with Google to bring a novel surgical robotic platform to market. Obviously Intuitive now knows that they will have to compete with Warren Robotics at some point in the future, the big question for them would be WHEN? The info that was given is showing that Warren robotics is 2-3 years from market UNLESS they have/are investing in a surgical robotics platform that could be ready within 1 to 1 1/2 years (HALF THE TIME). If it was announced that JnJ was the supplier, it would almost validate the theory that they plan to partner with Titan which would put Intuitive in a position to have to react quicker than 3 years. Also interesting that they pulled their Single Port DaVinci.
