We created the da Vinci 5 platform with the goal of helping surgeons provide the best minimally invasive surgery to as many patients as possible. Redesigned from the inside out, da Vinci 5 brings more than 150 design innovations and 10,000x the computing power1 to deliver greater surgeon autonomy2, more streamlined OR workflow, and advanced data analytics. With an eye toward improving patient outcomes now and into the future, we have enabled real-time collaboration and state‑of‑the‑art analytic tools that deliver objective insights to personalize surgeon learning.
Surgical Senses
Designed for better outcomes by enhancing surgical senses
Better patient outcomes: this goal underscores everything we do. We aim to deliver these outcomes through enhanced surgical senses—by enabling Force Feedback technology, the best da Vinci vision system, and improved ergonomics.<sup>3</sup>
Surgical Senses
<div id="forcefeedback"> Force Feedback: first-of-its-kind technology</div>
Surgeons with varying experience levels can deliver up to 43% less force on tissue<sup>4</sup> by sensing the push and pull forces at the instrument tip through Force Feedback technology. The instrument sensors are able to generate post-operative, objective performance measurements on tissue for personal and training insights. Surgeons who were early in their learning curve made fewer errors, performed faster suturing, and with less tissue trauma when using Force Feedback instruments during simulated suturing tasks.<sup>5</sup>Sense push/pull forces

- Average forces reported are within this sensing range.
- Contraindication: use of the Force Feedback needle driver is contraindicated in hysterectomy and myomectomy due to the risk of vaginal bleeding requiring hospital readmission and/or the need for additional procedures. The use of non-force feedback needle drivers is recommended for suturing in these procedures.
