# Intuitive da Vinci: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Intuitive's da Vinci is the gold-standard surgical robot: 11,395 systems installed, teleoperated (not autonomous). Enterprise B2B, no consumer price.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no consumer price. The da Vinci is enterprise B2B equipment sold to hospitals on multi-million-dollar per-system contracts, so DEPLOY records zero price points rather than a consumer figure.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

The da Vinci is sold to hospitals and surgical centers, not consumers. Per Intuitive's SEC filings, 11,395 da Vinci systems and 1,041 Ion systems are installed worldwide.

## Status

The da Vinci is the verified-at-scale anchor of surgical robotics, the benchmark every other entrant is measured against. The lineup spans da Vinci multi-port (X/Xi), the single-port SP, the fifth-generation da Vinci 5 (FDA cleared March 2024, with force feedback), and the Ion bronchoscopy robot (FDA 2019). It is teleoperated: a surgeon controls every motion, with shipped analytics AI. Autonomous-suturing work exists only as research demonstrations on da Vinci hardware, not as shipped product, so DEPLOY does not treat the da Vinci as an autonomous surgical robot.
