HONG KONG – November 05, 2026 -- Fosun has used its ninth consecutive China International Import Expo (CIIE) appearance to debut Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci 5 robotic system in China. It also reported that its Intuitive Fosun joint venture has trained more than 23,000 doctors across 33 training centers. This year's expo in Shanghai draws participants from 162 countries, regions and international organizations, with more than 4,100 corporate exhibitors.

Fosun is exhibiting at the Fosun Pharma booth (2.1C4-01) in the Medical Equipment and Healthcare Products Exhibition Area. Its displays cover oncology, immunology and inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. Fosun International Chairman Guo Guangchang described the CIIE as "an annual test of our global industrial and innovation capabilities."

Freiburg – – September 11, 2026 -- Intuitive Surgical has secured CE marking for Force Feedback instruments on its da Vinci 5 surgical system, clearing the technology for use across the European market alongside more than 100 additional system updates.

Force Feedback lets surgeons feel tissue resistance in real time

The instruments capture pressure, traction and lateral forces roughly 1,000 times per second, relaying them directly through the hand controllers on the da Vinci 5 console. A real-time force gauge, resembling a speedometer, displays the intensity of force applied to tissue during a procedure. Post-operatively, surgeons can review force data through Case Insights in the MyIntuitive+ platform to refine technique and reduce variability between cases.
