I know it seems intuitive to think that the arms would be difficult to sterilize, but the physics/chemistry behind the sterilization process will not make it an issue. Don't worry about that.
Today I was working with a general surgeon and he was talking about the negatives of robotic surgery. He is early 50's and thinks the lack of "internal" manipulation with the direction of the arms is the big limiter. He would want to do "Single Port" cases, but the DaVinci system is too cumbersome. He is not the only one of our general surgeons to thinks this. A couple of others have tried to be proactive in the technology and have quit. I told him that it is all about to change in the next couple of years with the "snake" arms of Titan and the newer single port DaVinci. He had no idea. He was very interested. He could see himself changing his practice. The point being, that, the robotic market is going to expand big time with this new technology. ISRG will get some and Titan will get some. The naysayers currently down playing ISRG and the growth curve will all be applauding it in 2 years.
This sector is about to take off and those not on the ride are going to miss out. We look at this every day, but sometimes forget, how big of a game changer this will be! No way will I sell at this moment. I would only sell if it was delayed for any reason. But if they are on track, I am buckled in and ready to go! GO TITAN!
