Intuitive’s da Vinci 5 surgical system has been awarded CE mark approval for adult and pediatric use for minimally invasive endoscopic procedures across abdominopelvic and thoracoscopic surgical procedures, including urologic, gynecologic, and general laparoscopic procedures.

Da Vinci 5 is the company’s most advanced, integrated multiport robotic-assisted surgical system. It has over 150 enhancements and builds on the da Vinci Xi surgical system’s highly functional design.

It touts Force Feedback enabled tech and is the most realistic 3D da Vinci system to date, according to Intuitive. It has an ergonomic, immersive surgeon console to support career longevity. Key components were integrated that surgeons can control at their fingertips.

A universal interface for care teams and dynamic assistance to automate select tasks further enhance functionality. An intelligent platform with 10,000 times more computing power and new sensors, software, and advanced processors provide surgeons with more usable data.

The surgical robot was FDA cleared in 2024 for use during urology, general, gynecology, and thoracic procedures in adults.

“We are pleased that our da Vinci 5 Surgical System has received CE mark approval, marking its entry to Europe,” said Intuitive CEO Dave Rosa. “At Intuitive, we’re focused on providing healthcare systems across Europe and around the world with thoughtful innovation that solves problems today and into the future.  After over a decade of careful development, da Vinci 5 is the most advanced and integrated platform we’ve ever created—designed to enable better outcomes, efficiency, and insights for the future of minimally invasive care.”

Da Vinci 5 is the fifth generation da Vinci surgical system and the latest addition to the da Vinci family. This includes multiport systems da Vinci X and da Vinci Xi, and the single-port system da Vinci SP. 2025 marks Intuitive’s 30th year developing robotic-assisted technology.

“We believe that the operational efficiencies and actionable insights provided by da Vinci 5 will not only help transform surgery but also help address critical challenges faced by healthcare systems across Europe,” said Dirk Barten, Intuitive senior VP and general manager for Europe. “It’s exciting that surgeons and care teams across Europe will have their choice of the full portfolio of da Vinci systems, including da Vinci 5, giving them greater choice and flexibility, and ultimately supporting quality care for more patients across the region.”
