Can ISRG's Single-Port Platform Become the Next Billion-Dollar Franchise?

Intuitive Surgical's single-port (SP) platform is emerging as a significant growth franchise with 61% year-over-year procedure growth and an installed base of 445 systems. Strong U.S. utilization gains (25% YoY) and expanding stapler adoption (nearly 60% of eligible cases) support the platform's trajectory toward becoming a billion-dollar business. The company is also expanding internationally and through product innovation.
