SS Innovations International said it has completed the development of five new 5-millimeter surgical instruments for clinical use
SS Innovations International, a developer of surgical robotic technologies that aims to make healthcare via robotic surgery affordable for and accessible to a global population, announced the completed development of five new 5-millimeter surgical instruments for clinical use across multiple specialties.
The company said the new specialties include pediatric, cardiac, and head and neck surgery, among other medical procedures involving smaller anatomical structures.
SS Innovations said that the newly developed 5-millimeter surgical instruments include a spatula cautery, hook cautery, needle driver, bipolar forceps and grasping forceps.
“We developed several new smaller instruments designed to benefit critical surgical robotic procedures across multiple specialties, including pediatric, cardiac and head and neck,” said Dr. Vishwa Srivastava, CEO for Asia Pacific at SS Innovations. “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.”
As of December 31, 2025, the company said the cumulative installed base of the SSi Mantra totaled 168 systems, including 12 systems deployed across nine countries outside of India.
“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,” added Dr. Srivastava. “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 instruments, for the benefit of a larger segment of patients globally.”
As of early January 2026, 153 hospitals have installed the SSi Mantra, and more than 7,800 surgical procedures have been performed, including over 120 telesurgeries and more than 400 cardiac procedures.
