财富增长最快的公司之全明星

Intuitive Surgical医疗器械公司

2012排名： 50

连续上榜时间：6年

    这家总部位于加州桑尼维尔的机器人外科手术系统制造商继续受益于市场对机器人外科手术需求的增长。它的da Vinci系统在子宫切除术等医疗手术中得到了广泛采用，令公司自2007年首次上榜（第4）以来一直稳居榜单之中。2012年Intuitive下滑至第50位，但业务仍在继续增长。2011年公司营业收入较上年增长了24%，同期利润大增30%，使用da Vinci系统的外科手术增加了29%，达到36万例。

    2012年，Intuitive Surgical公司对欧洲医院的支出预测谨慎，因为欧洲政府仍在苦苦挣扎，应对堆积如山的债务。该公司每年销售额有20%来自欧洲以及日本、韩国等海外市场。

Intuitive Surgical

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. Its da Vinci technology is used heavily in medical procedures such as hysterectomies, and has helped the company hold steady on this list since 2007 when it came in at no. 4. Intuitive slipped to no. 50 in 2012, but the company has seen business grow. For 2011, revenues grew 24% over the previous year, while profit rose 30% and surgical procedures using the da Vinci system rose 29% to 360,000 during the same period.

    For 2012, Intuitive Surgical gave a cautious note on spending by hospitals in Europe, where governments are grappling with too much debt. The company gets 20% of its annual revenue from Europe and foreign markets like Japan and South Korea.
