Intuitive Surgical gains CE mark for da Vinci SP

Intuitive Surgical received CE mark approval to use its da Vinci SP single-port robotic surgical system in transvaginal gynecologic procedures across Europe. The stock gained 6.5% following the announcement.

The clearance marks a world first for the SP platform. It adds to existing European approvals for endoscopic and natural-orifice surgeries, expanding the system into minimally invasive and scarless procedures in complex anatomical areas.

The regulatory milestone comes as the company navigates multiple Class II product recalls and works to expand into ambulatory surgery centers after a sharp share price pullback earlier this year.
