Can You Trust Pre-Owned Surgical Robots?

Surgical robots, particularly the industry-leading da Vinci surgical system, have become indispensable for performing advanced medical procedures with exceptional accuracy and efficiency. Robotic-assisted surgeries have demonstrated benefits in reducing recovery time and improving clinical outcomes, as verified in peer-reviewed research from the National Institutes of Health¹.

Although the high costs associated with new robotic systems can be prohibitive for many healthcare facilities—with new da Vinci 5 systems representing a significant capital investment (over $2 million)—the availability of pre-owned surgical robots presents a more budget-friendly alternative without sacrificing performance.

As a leading global supplier in the used surgical robot market, R2 Surgical specializes in providing top-quality used da Vinci robot systems, along with new instruments and accessories, ensuring that medical professionals can meet diverse needs while maintaining patient safety and clinical efficacy.

The Growing Market for Pre-Owned Surgical Robots

The demand for surgical robots continues to grow. While the high cost of new robots can stretch hospital budgets thin, the expanding used surgical robot market offers a viable, cost-effective solution.

R2 Surgical is at the forefront of this market, guaranteeing that each used da Vinci Si and used da Vinci Xi system meets rigorous quality and safety standards, thus providing healthcare providers with an affordable pathway to upgrade their technological capabilities.

Categories of Pre-Owned Surgical Robots

Used Surgical Robots:

Facilities often make these robots available when they upgrade to newer models or undergo organizational changes. Many hospitals typically replace their surgical robots every 5-7 years as part of regular capital equipment cycles. R2 Surgical ensures that all used surgical robots in our inventory, including used da Vinci robot systems, are well-maintained and thoroughly vetted to meet operational standards, maintaining a high level of quality and reliability.

Refurbished Surgical Robots:

These robots are meticulously restored to meet or exceed the original manufacturer's specifications. R2 Surgical's comprehensive refurbishment process includes part replacement and repairs, enabling each refurbished da Vinci Si or da Vinci Xi system to function as if it were new.
