See our full analysis for Intuitive Surgical The da Vinci Xi System The da Vinci Xi system is an improved version of the older da Vinci Si model and allows wider use of the device, according to the company. The new robot's arms are thinner and have greater maneuverability compared to existing models, which the company believes should reduce the chances of interference between the arms during procedures and enable smoother operation. It also boasts a better imaging system with 3D and high-definition visuals. Intuitive believes that better mobility and ease-of-use will allow a greater number of surgeons to perform complex surgeries using the robotic system than before.
