Synektik Introduces Cutting-Edge Robotic Surgery Systems to Polish Market
Synektik S.A., a leading Polish medical technology company, has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the latest generation da Vinci 5 robotic surgery system and the single-port da Vinci SP model. The company also launched the Ion endoluminal system for advanced pulmonary bronchoscopy diagnostics. These innovations mark a significant step in enhancing precision and efficiency in minimally invasive procedures.
The da Vinci 5 system, designed with machine learning capabilities and advanced AI algorithms, offers enhanced computational power and introduces haptic feedback for improved surgical precision. Priced at approximately 13 million PLN, it is 30% more expensive than its predecessor, the da Vinci Xi. The single-port da Vinci SP, priced at 12 million PLN, enables surgeries through a single incision, making it ideal for specialized procedures such as radical prostatectomy and head-and-neck surgeries.
Synektik also unveiled the Ion system, priced at 6 million PLN, which provides unparalleled accuracy in lung biopsies. With features like 180-degree maneuverability, fiber-optic construction, and advanced path-planning capabilities, Ion significantly reduces diagnostic time for lung cancer. While no Polish hospitals currently use Ion, its adoption is growing globally, with over 900 units operational in the U.S.
Synektik now manages 77 da Vinci robots in Poland, with projections of over 20,000 robotic surgeries in 2025. The company has trained more than 300 Polish surgeons and plans to open a training center in Warsaw, complementing its existing facility in Prague. Globally, Intuitive Surgical deployed 1,790 new robots in 2024, with a growing trend toward leasing and shared-use models. In total, 2.68 million surgeries were performed using da Vinci systems last year, underscoring their transformative impact on healthcare.
“2025 marks the 30th anniversary of robotic surgery development by Intuitive Surgical, a technology aimed at improving patient outcomes and expanding access to minimally invasive treatments,” said Cezary Kozanecki, founder and CEO of Synektik.
