The multi-limbed da Vinci can be utilized in a variety of procedures, including cardiovascular, colorectal, gynaecological, head and neck, thoracic and urologic medical procedures, however, only if they're minimally invasive. How large the market could be is as yet hazy, yet experts concur the potential still can't seem to be tapped. So more players are moving in, and rapidly. As the beginning of robotic surgery offers an approach to increasingly precise control and better patient results, early pioneers like Intuitive Surgical Inc. are seeing increased pressure from large organizations like Johnson and Johnson and Medtronic PLC, which have made major M&A investments to break into the market as of late. Intuitive's da Vinci system was first affirmed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2000 for urology.

The ortho giant's purchase of French surgical robotics firm Medtech could give competitor Mazor Robotics a run for its money, according to one analyst. Zimmer Biomet has officially entered the surgical robotics market with its acquisition of a majority of shares in the French firm Medtech, maker of a robotics platform for neurological and spine procedures. The Warsaw, IN-based company, a leader in the musculoskeletal space, announced July 18 that it had purchased almost 59% of shares in Medtech and also intends to mount an all-cash simplified tender offer to acquire the remaining shares. Zimmer Biomet will continue to operate Medtech out of its current headquarters in Montepellier, France, which will also serve as a "center of excellence" for Zimmer Biomet's surgical robotics development efforts, according to a joint press release from the companies. With the Medtech acquisition, Zimmer Biomet gains the Rosa platform, which is currently used in 20 hospitals in Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, according to the company's website.
