(the “Company” or “SS Innovations”) (Nasdaq: SSII), a developer of innovative surgical robotic technologies dedicated to making robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a global population, today announced that the Company has completed the development of five new 5-millimeter surgical instruments for clinical use across multiple specialties, including pediatric, cardiac, and head and neck surgery, among other procedures involving smaller anatomical structures. The newly developed 5-millimeter surgical instruments include a spatula cautery, hook cautery, needle driver, bipolar forceps, and grasping forceps. Dr. Vishwa Srivastava, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for Asia Pacific, commented, “We developed several new smaller instruments designed to benefit critical surgical robotic procedures across multiple specialties, including pediatric, cardiac, and head and neck. Our innovative 5-millimeter instruments, combined with our advanced, cost-effective SSi Mantra surgical robotic system, show great promise for supporting the large population of pediatric patients left behind each year. Globally, 1.7 billion children and adolescents lack easy access to critical surgical care, which can play a significant role in preventing disability and death.1 It has been reported that more than 390 million children under the age of five in lower- and middle-income countries do not receive timely intervention with safe and affordable surgical care.2 Unfortunately, to date most robotic surgeries have been geared towards the adult population. We aim to make robotic surgery more accessible to pediatric patients with new, smaller surgical instruments.” Dr. Srivastava concluded, “In addition, our 5-millimeter instruments can benefit cardiac surgery, which often involves small structures, such as the internal mammary artery during robotic coronary artery bypass surgery. Furthermore, our new robotic instruments can help perform critical tasks during head and neck procedures, which entail tight working space and quite small structures. Moving forward, we will continue to focus on developing differentiated surgical robotic technologies, such as these instrument...
