From intuitive posts...lights out cov
Keep chirping. You know absolutely nothing about the ISRG stapler---and for good reason. You haven't seen the design, you know nothing about the head to head testing. All I can tell you is this: Don't underestimate the efficacy and impact this product is going to have on your business. Or follow the same path as everyone else who discounted ISRG and is now paying the price. At $500 per share, they can pay the best and brightest engineers. And they do. Stay tuned.
They are and have been actively hiring USSC / USS / TYC / COV to develop the staplers. Lots of good people heading to Cali.
ex us surgical ...yes.
the only stapling innovation since tyco took over is new handles and packaging. COV can't even buy innovation and launch it.
maybe true except about the cov hiring...non competes in force and nothing but losers or new college grads left. thats why cov powered stapler doesn't work nor will it ever work.
Heck if the Chinese can make a functional stapler, what makes you think the engineers at Intuitive can't. COV will be caught between low cost imports and high tech robotic surgery/stapling.

David Green, where are you??? The folks in North Haven need you more than ever.
I left the company over a year ago, worried too much that the blinking lights on the RALC would cause in epileptic seizure in either the surgeon or the other folks at the table. Has that happened yet?
And yes, COV screwed themselves when they decided to become at complete odds with Intuitive. What a bonehead move that was; even JNJ partners with Intuitive now!
COV actually believes they're better than everyone else!!!!!
Ultra Failure
Ya, it's BS but we bought them for the tech, not that product. They are trying to make some type of return before the powered EGIA comes out. At least that product looks solid.
the never ending development project continues........
