Intuitive Global Design Team – daVinci SP – Surgical System
The da Vinci SP surgical system is an advanced, robotic-assisted platform for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). It acts as a natural extension of a surgeon’s eyes and hands through a combination of cutting-edge robotics, 3DHD stereoscopic vision, and intuitive human-interface controls. The system delivers all of this capability through a single small incision. We have been vigilant about providing as much capability to surgeons and their care teams (nurse circulators, scrub techs, and surgical assists) as possible, because we know that they will use everything we can provide to care for their patients. That’s why we work to deliver smart technology and capabilities that provide the ease of use, services, training, and data insights required to help surgeons and their teams succeed. Said Dan Eun, MD, Chief Robotic Surgery, Temple University Hospital: “The introduction of the da Vinci SP system represents the first time that surgeons will have a comprehensive surgical platform that combines a single port and enhanced optics with wristed advanced instrumentation. As the capabilities and limitations of minimally invasive surgery shift, da Vinci SP will challenge us all to rethink and redefine what is possible and how we can improve surgical care to our patients.” The da Vinci SP system is FDA cleared for urologic procedures, including prostate, cancer, kidney cancer, and advanced urinary tract reconstruction surgery.

Inspired by nature, digitally crafted, and meticulously refined with a master whisky distiller, the glass has been designed to capture whisky’s complex flavors and aromatics and deliver them to the senses like never before. With the aid of specially developed protrusion forms inside the glass, whisky swirled within the bowl forms a standing wave shape, increasing the surface to air ratio and rate of oxidization, thereby reducing the presence of ethanol for more expressive aromas.

K-Haler – Inhaler
k-haler was designed to address many of the issues that have persisted since the invention of the first pressurised metered dose inhaler in 1956.
