International robotics portfolios broaden
Medtronic is using distribution alongside internal development to broaden international robotics coverage and address differing customer needs. This signals that surgical-robotics competition can increasingly center on multi-platform portfolios combining robotics, AI, visualization, and instruments.
As announced this morning, we are further enhancing and expanding our robotic portfolio through a strategic investment and distribution agreement for Cornerstone's Sentire surgical system in select markets outside the U.S. Sentire complements Hugo by extending our reach into select international markets and broadening the range of customer needs that we can address as robotic surgery continues to expand globally. Taken together, the platforms, Hugo, Touch Surgery Aide, Sentire, and our enhanced surgical instrumentation, position Medtronic to build a differentiated global robotics portfolio. Combining advanced robotics, AI, visualization, and instrumentation to push the field forward, improving surgical precision and workflow, and serve a broader range of customers and patients around the world.
