Intuitive (Nasdaq: ISRG), the pioneer and a global leader in robotic-assisted, minimally invasive surgery and manufacturer of da Vinci surgical systems, today announced the acquisition of Schölly Fiberoptic’s robotic endoscope business.

The extraordinarily successful development of SCHÖLLY FIBEROPTIC GMBH in the past years, and the steadily growing demand resulting from it, enables new investments.

The first prototype for direct remote control via ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC protocol was presented to the trade public in April in Berlin.

From 11 – 13 July 2018 SCHÖLLY participates in the INA PAACE Automechanika in Mexico City. At the tradeshow visitors and distributors from the automotive aftermarket and production get together.
