OUR T AKE Intuitive Surgical has certainly caught the eye of investors with its report which beats expectations and signals strong market demand for the da Vinci surgical robot. The company’s success story is a testament to the resilience of the medical device industry and the growing reliance on advanced technology to meet suppressed medical needs. -Rae Li, BTW reporter Intuitive Surgical reported second-quarter profit and revenue that beat expectations on Thursday, as growing demand for its surgical robots used in minimally invasive procedures sent the company’s shares up 6.7% after hours.

Analysis
The revenue increase is partly due to growth in surgeries on the company’s surgical robot called da Vinci. The company says global da Vinci surgical volume rises about 17% from a year earlier. Moreover, Industry leader Johnson & Johnson on Wednesday reported a 2.2% increase in second-quarter sales in its medical technology business, but that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Larger peer Abbott Laboratories also raised its annual profit forecast, helped by rising sales of its blood sugar monitors and demand for heart devices.
