財富增長最快的公司之全明星

Intuitive Surgical醫療器械公司

2012排名： 50

連續上榜時間：6年

????這家總部位于加州桑尼維爾的機器人外科手術系統制造商繼續受益于市場對機器人外科手術需求的增長。它的da Vinci系統在子宮切除術等醫療手術中得到了廣泛采用，令公司自2007年首次上榜（第4）以來一直穩居榜單之中。2012年Intuitive下滑至第50位，但業務仍在繼續增長。2011年公司營業收入較上年增長了24%，同期利潤大增30%，使用da Vinci系統的外科手術增加了29%，達到36萬例。

????2012年，Intuitive Surgical公司對歐洲醫院的支出預測謹慎，因為歐洲政府仍在苦苦掙扎，應對堆積如山的債務。該公司每年銷售額有20%來自歐洲以及日本、韓國等海外市場。

2012 Fastest-Growing rank: 50

Years on list: 6

????The Sunnyvale, CA-based manufacturer of robotic surgical systems continued to gain with growing demand for robotic surgery.
