Researcher- Whomever that is, it is for a different area of surgery- spinal I believe, or for setting surgical screws, brain tissue, or something like that.
as far as ISRG they were the only approved robot for soft tissue abdominal, gyno, recto etc. now we have TRXC as the only other approved robot. this is a 60+ billion market worldwide for soft tissue surgical related procedures. it is the largest market worldwide for robotic procedures
no one else will be able to enter this robotic area for at least 5 years, even if they started the FDA approval process today. Medtronic is closest but still 3-5 years out. JnJ blew it.
hey aren't you the "researcher"? (LOL kidding with you).
