SSI Mantra enables remote heart surgery, costs about ₹5cr
SSI Mantra, a robotic surgery platform from India, is making heart procedures easier on the wallet.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava recently pulled off a remote heart surgery from Delhi on a patient in Karnataka using this system.
The best part? SSI Mantra costs about ₹5 crore, just one-third of what imported robotic systems go for.
SMSIMSR convenes 114 cardiac surgeons
Developed by SS Innovations, SSI Mantra uses reusable tools to cut down costs even further and can handle tough surgeries across specialties like pediatrics and cardiac care.
With over 133 centers worldwide and more than 10,000 surgeries already done, there's big demand for skilled surgeons.
To help with this, SMSIMSR and partners have kicked off hands-on training programs, recently bringing together 114 cardiac surgeons with live surgeries streamed from Greece and Coimbatore for real-time learning.
This approach is set to make advanced cardiac care way more accessible for everyone.
