EndoWrist® Instruments
Intuitive Surgical's exclusive EndoWrist Instruments are designed to provide surgeons with natural dexterity and full range of motion for precise operation through tiny incisions. Modeled after the human wrist, EndoWrist Instruments can offer an even greater range of motion than the human hand. They truly allow the da Vinci® System to take surgical precision and technique beyond the limits of the human hand. Similar to human tendons, an EndoWrist Instrument's internal cables provide maximum responsiveness, allowing rapid and precise suturing, dissection and tissue manipulation.
