Dr. Osterberg now using DaVinici 5 (DV5) Robot

Dr. Osterberg is now trained as a handful of surgeons in Austin Metro area on the newest DaVinci Robot called DV5. The latest generation of robot from Intuitive Surgical has several advantages including:

Haptic feedback

This technology allows surgeons to feel resistance or tension in the tissue they are manipulating. 

• 3D visualization

  The dV5 has a high-definition 3D vision system that provides surgeons with a magnified view of the surgical site. 

• Arm dexterity

  The dV5 has multiple robotic arms with increased degrees of freedom, allowing surgeons to manipulate instruments in ways that are difficult for humans. 

• Ergonomics

  The dV5 has a redesigned surgeon console with customizable positioning to reduce surgeon fatigue. 

• Compact design

  The dV5's compact design allows it to be used in a variety of operating rooms. 

• Integrated tower

  The dV5's integrated tower consolidates multiple functions into one unit, reducing the need for additional equipment. 

• Telepresence

  The dV5 allows surgical procedures to be live-streamed in real-time, which can be used for education and training. 

• Computing power

  The dV5 has 10,000 times more computing power than previous models.
