Medtech start-up joins hands with Avra Medical Robotics to make robotic surgery accessible, affordable

SS Innovation, an Indian Medtech startup company has joined hands with Avra Medical Robotics, a Nasdaq-listed company in the United States, to make robotic surgery accessible and affordable for the people of our country. SS Innovations launched the first fully “Made in India” surgical robot SSI Mantra, a technologically advanced surgical robotic system that has more and better features and applications than existing systems. 

This machine will revolutionize the idea of surgical practices in our homeland and around the world in terms of precision, technical advancement, and cost reduction, making expensive robotic surgery available for the common people.

Dr Frederic Moll, 'Father of Robotic surgery', was also present at the event. Dr Moll, who is the founder of the World’s first surgical robot, the Da Vinci surgical system, emphasised the importance of robotic surgery and the multiple benefits of this procedure over the traditional surgical methodology. 

“Extremely excited to be here to witness the progress and development of a new robotic system that I believe is a great step forward for the general distribution of healthcare in the field of medical surgery. This system will provide the most advanced technology to patients around the globe, East and West alike. This technology is an opportunity to bring a major impact on contributing towards better healthcare and wellbeing of Asia and across her borders,” Dr Fredric Moll, Founder- Of Intuitive Surgical.

According to Dr Sudhir P Srivastava - founder, chairman & CEO, of SS Innovations - this acquisition will help them reach the global market. 

"Our innovation will be used widely. As we know that the future of Medtech lies in the precision of surgery and this acquisition will help us to bring this “Make in India” technology to the global platform. The union of Avra Medical Robotics with SSI will revolutionise the medical service all over the world hailing the spirit of Made in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat. We are very happy today to have some distinguished personalities with us like Dr Moll, the father of Robotics Surgery. The vision he had some 25 years back is now being manifested in full-fledged expression. We are all proud to be a part of this project. An Indian MedTech start-up will be there on NASDAQ, which is a proud moment for the entire nation,” he added.

Avra Medical Robotics is pushing the transition from assistive to semi-autonomous treatments in healthcare with an initial focus on aesthetics. The company is constantly working on semi-autonomous systems. The Avra Robotic Treatment System (ARTS) allows providers to view a treatment plan and watch the treatment be performed purely by the robot using advanced guidance technology. With precision scanning, artificial intelligence, targeting, treatment, and information collection, their system provides boundless diagnostic and therapeutic implications for the healthcare space to target, diagnose, and treat.
