SS Innovations Launches MantrAsana, World’s First Portable Robotic Surgery System
Nasdaq-listed SS Innovations International, Inc., has announced the launch of the world’s first portable robotic telesurgery system, named “”MantrAsana””. Developed and built entirely in India, this breakthrough marks a major milestone in the field of surgical robotics and remote medical technology.
India’s Leap in Robotic Surgery
MantrAsana is a fully integrated, ergonomic, and compact telesurgery console designed to allow expert surgeons to perform complex surgeries remotely. The system utilises magnetic sensor-based controls and lightweight 3D glasses, enabling high-precision operations in real time. Developed by a team led by Dr Sudhir Srivastava, Founder and Chairman of SS Innovations International, the console demonstrates India’s growing capability in advanced medical technology innovation.
Empowering Surgeons Beyond Boundaries
Dr Srivastava explained that MantrAsana brings surgical expertise directly to the patient, irrespective of location. Surgeons can operate from their offices using lightweight 3D visual gear while remotely controlling the robotic system’s movements. The compact telesurgery units can be deployed in smaller healthcare facilities, offering access to top-tier surgical expertise in rural or underserved regions, where skilled specialists are often unavailable.
A New Era of Remote Medical Robotics
Dr Sudhir Rawal, Medical Director of Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre, described the innovation as a new era in robotic surgery. By combining advanced precision robotics, immersive 3D visualisation, and remote control capability, MantrAsana allows procedures to be conducted without the physical presence of the surgeon in the operating theatre. Its small, ergonomic footprint allows for installation in medical offices, eliminating the need for a full-scale surgical suite.
Exam Oriented Facts
- MantrAsana is the world’s first fully portable telesurgery console designed in India.
- It uses magnetic sensor-based controls and lightweight 3D glasses for real-time precision.
- The system was developed by SS Innovations International, founded by Dr Sudhir Srivastava.
- Commercial availability in India is expected by December 2025, with global rollout to follow.
Global Impact and Future Prospects
The MantrAsana system represents a significant leap in democratising surgical care worldwide. By enabling cross-border remote surgeries, it reduces dependency on geographical proximity to medical specialists. SS Innovations plans to expand its availability globally after its commercial debut in India, positioning the nation as a pioneer in the field of portable robotic telesurgery.
