Remanufactured Da Vinci Xi Monopolar Scissors will help hospitals reduce the cost of robotic surgery while reducing the environmental footprint of surgeries
Encore Medical Device Repair (Encore) announced that it can now offer its customers remanufactured Da Vinci Xi Monopolar Scissors. Encore customers already have access to remanufactured Da Vinci Si Monopolar Scissors as well as a pre-owned robotic instrument program. A recent FDA clearance now expands the company’s robotic instrument portfolio. With this milestone, Encore is offering hospitals and surgery centers a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to purchasing robotic instruments from the original manufacturer.
U.S. hospitals spend more than $2 billion every year on robotic instruments and accessories. Any hospital participating in Encore’s robotic manufacturing program will be able to significantly reduce its costs without compromising quality or patient safety.

“The availability of remanufactured Xi monopolar scissors is a major victory for instrument re-use, a strategy that is absolutely necessary for hospitals in the current economic climate,” says Encore President and COO Tom Milano. “Encore was founded on the idea of instrument stewardship – we need to treat instruments as assets to keep costs down and protect the environment. Restore Robotics and Encore’s collaboration on robotic instrumentation is a great win for resource stewardship.”
It is through Encore’s exclusive collaboration with Restore Robotics that the company is able to offer the Da Vinci Xi remanufactured instruments. Restore Robotics received its 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for remanufacturing Da Vinci Xi Monopolar Scissors on March 11, 2025, through its subsidiary Iconocare Health.

“Restore Robotics is deeply committed to helping hospitals reduce the cost of using a surgical robot,” says Restore Robotics CEO Clif Parker. “Our recent clearance is a break-through for robotic instrument re-use as the instrument cleared for remanufacturing is among the most used robotic instruments in U.S. hospitals.”
The remanufactured Xi monopolar scissors are available immediately from Encore Medical Device Repair.
