CDSCO approves India's 1st robotic system SSI Mantra for telesurgery, teleproctoring
New Delhi: Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has given regulatory nod to the first Made-in-India SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System, for Telesurgery and Teleproctoring.
Developed by SS Innovations, the system aims to decentralize and democratize access to surgical expertise, addressing critical gaps in healthcare, particularly in remote areas, where access to specialized medical care has often been a challenge.
SS Innovations Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, said, “Reaching this milestone with SSI Mantra is a testament to our vision of transforming surgical practices, enhancing access, and driving the adoption of robotic surgery. Telesurgery and Teleproctoring have been a dream in the making for over four decades, and today, it has finally come to life. With the technology and bandwidth available now, we can truly decentralize and democratize surgical expertise, reaching patients and surgeons in the most remote parts of India and the world. This innovation is a game-changer, especially for our country, where much of the population lives in smaller towns and rural areas. By enabling remote surgical intervention, we are reshaping the future of healthcare.”
