ISRG Expands Installed Base, But Is Utilization Keeping Pace?

Intuitive Surgical ISRG continues to expand its global dominance in robotic-assisted surgery with a 15% year-over-year increase in da Vinci system installations, bringing its global installed base to more than 10,000 units. In the first quarter of 2025, the company placed 367 da Vinci systems — including 147 of the next-gen da Vinci 5 — amid strong U.S. demand. However, installations outside the country remained unchanged year over year, reflecting healthcare budget constraints in markets like Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom. While Intuitive Surgical's recurring revenues, now 85% of the total revenues, remain robust, a critical metric — utilization — reveals a key tension. Overall, procedures grew 17% year over year, yet average system utilization rose just 2% across the multiport platforms. SP and Ion platforms posted stronger utilization increases of 26% and 5% respectively, supported by focused adoption strategies and new clearances. The limited growth in core platform utilization raises questions about the ROI of hospitals post-installation, particularly in constrained capital environments. Management acknowledged this dynamic, noting efforts to drive training, site enablement, and digital adoption to boost throughput. Additionally, da Vinci 5's Force Feedback and case insight tools, though early in rollout, are beginning to demonstrate measurable value in clinical outcomes and surgeon proficiency. ISRG's installed base expansion remains strong, especially in the United States. However, modest system utilization growth suggests that procedural ramp-up may lag deployments in some markets. Long-term growth will require more than system placements; it hinges on improving per-system productivity, proving clinical differentiation, and navigating financial headwinds that may shift hospital ROI expectations. Stryker SYK reported record-breaking Mako installations in the first quarter of 2025, both in the United States and globally, driven by sustained momentum in orthopedics and increased procedural demand. The new Mako 4 SmartRobotics system, launched this year, features a smaller OR footprint and improved integration with its latest Q Guidance system, streamlining setup and intraoperative workflows. Management cited high utilization rates for installed units globally, particularly in knee and hip procedures, where Mako continues to drive share gains. The company also noted progress toward launching Mako Spine later in 2025 and Mako Shoulder in early 2026, expanding its robotic footprint across specialties. With a strong capital order book and robust procedural volume, Stryker expects the Mako franchise to be a key contributor to its 8.5-9.5% organic growth target. Zimmer Biomet's ZBH ROSA robotics platform saw ongoing adoption in knee procedures, but results were more muted. While ROSA volume-based placements contributed to a mix shift versus outright sales, ROSA was mentioned as central to ZBH's robotic strategy in 2025. The company emphasized the growing uptake of cementless knee and hip implants, including the Oxford Partial Cementless Knee, which complements robotic workflows. Though specific ROSA installation figures weren't disclosed, the system remains integral to ZBH's ASC and digitization strategy. Management cited increased commercial focus and expanded surgical capabilities as key growth drivers, but acknowledged tariffs and ongoing pressure on operating margins as near-term headwinds. Shares of ISRG have gained 2.4% in the year-to-date period against the industry's decline of 7.7%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, Intuitive Surgical trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 64.35, above the industry average. But, it is still lower than its five-year median of 72.21. ISRG carries a Value Score of D. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Intuitive Surgical's 2025 earnings implies a 6.8% rise from the year-ago period's level.

Surgeons from Europe observe robotic knee surgery at Ysbyty Gwynedd

The surgeons, from Poland, Slovakia, Romania and the United Kingdom have been observing the operations carried out by Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Muthu Ganapathi. Ysbyty Gwynedd, in Bangor, has been pioneering robotic knee replacements since 2022 and is the only NHS hospital in Wales to offer this type of surgery. Mr Ganapathi along with colleagues Agustin Soler, Koldo Azura, Amir Azam and Ashok Goel have now carried out more than 250 robotic knee replacements using the ROSA robotic system. Mr Ganapathi said: 'There has been a paradigm shift in how a knee replacement is carried out. 'Traditionally the bone cuts were made with a 'one shape fit all' approach but there is increasing recognition that a personalised approach maybe better. With this type of approach, the bone cuts are personalised to match as closely to the individual patient's knee shape. The precision of the robot allows us to do the personalised bone cuts.' The ROSA being used by surgeons Mr Ganapathi and Mr Soler during a procedure in theatres at Ysbyty Gwynedd. (Image: BCUHB) 'With this personalised approach the recovery seems to be faster and less painful compared to traditional knee replacements.' Sion Quinn, Clinical Lead for Trauma and Orthopaedic Physiotherapy at Ysbyty Gwynedd, said: 'Since the establishment of robotic surgery we have seen patients recovering faster with less pain after their knee replacements. 'Within the NHS we are always looking at ways to improve the patient experience and with the introduction of these robotic knees we have seen improvement in patient outcomes.' MORE NEWS How much was spent on failed Denbighshire Leisure sale – full cost breakdown Man 'trapped' in vehicle taken to hospital after St Asaph crash Last year, Zimmer Biomet (ROSA robot) recognised Ysbyty Gwynedd as an official training centre for robotic knee replacements for surgeons across the UK and Europe which has led to interest further afield in this type of procedure. The use of the robot has also created further benefits by establishing an industry funded advanced Hip and Knee Robotic Fellowship role at Ysbyty Gwynedd. This provides the opportunity for senior surgeons across the UK to work with the robotic team for six months and get trained in robotics before applying for their Consultant posts. Orthopaedic Surgeon, Ashok Singh, who is the current Robotic Fellow has already completed his Orthopaedic training in London and chose this fellowship to advance his skills. He said: 'I was attracted to this Fellowship as the skill sets it offered was unique for this fellowship. It isn't just the robotic technique I am having the opportunity to learn it is also other techniques such as the direct anterior approach which is a minimally invasive technique for total hip arthroplasty and Oxford Uni knees. 'I am really enjoying this Fellowship, the personalised knee replacement technique with robotics has been extremely beneficial and I have seen excellent results. So, it's something I will definitely be using in my practice as I develop in my career.' Mr Ganapathi added: 'We are delighted with the feedback we are receiving from our Fellows since it was established last year – it's been such a positive experience for them and us as Consultants. 'The ROSA has helped us put Ysbyty Gwynedd and the Health Board on the map for innovation and how we are constantly trying to improve our service and ensure we always have the best outcomes for our patients.'
