FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. , Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SS Innovations International, Inc. (the “Company” or “SS Innovations”) (OTC: SSII), developer of innovative surgical robotic technologies dedicated to making world-class robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a global population, announced that it has completed the first sale of its SSi Mantra Surgical Robotic System in Ecuador as it begins its sales efforts in Central and South America.
SS Innovations successfully received the Ecuadorian regulatory approvals for clinical use in May 2024. Following the approvals, ongoing efforts to bring the Company’s affordable surgical robotic system to Ecuador began to solidify. Through SS Innovation’s partnership with Ingemedica Del Ecuador S.A., the Company’s distribution partner in Ecuador, the first purchase order was placed in August 2024 by Interhospital, a large multispecialty hospital in Guayaquil City, Ecuador.
Juan Pablo Rovayo, Sales and Project Manager for Ingemedica Del Ecuador S.A., commented, “The acquisition of the SSi Mantra Robotical Surgical System by Interhospital represents a significant advancement for the healthcare system in Ecuador. The SSi Mantra, designed with the philosophy of making high-tech surgery affordable for everyone, not only places Ecuador at the forefront of modern medicine but also reinforces Interhospital’s commitment to accessibility and quality in healthcare. The SSi Mantra offers numerous advantages, such as advanced surgical precision that reduces recovery times and minimizes postoperative complications. This not only improves the experience and outcomes for patients but also optimizes hospital resources by reducing prolonged stays and the need for additional interventions.”
Mr. Rovayo further added, “The incorporation of this technology can make complex surgeries more accessible, eliminating the economic barriers that traditionally limit many patients. By making these surgeries more affordable, Interhospital not only elevates its level of service but also contributes to the overall well-being of the population, aligning with its mission to offer excellent healthcare to all Ecuadorians.”
SS Innovations’ President and COO, Dr. Vishwa Srivastava, said, “We are very excited to announce that we have completed our first SSi Mantra Surgical Robotic System sale in South America. We are very excited for the opportunity to extend our Company’s vision beyond borders and across continents. I am confident that the surgeons at Interhospital in Ecuador will be able to utilize our technology to best serve the patients in their community, offering the highest level of surgical care at an affordable cost, making our innovative technology accessible to all in Ecuador. As we are launching in South America, representing another part of the world that has tremendous inequity of healthcare access amongst its population, this expansion serves as a potent reminder and validation of our vision and mission to address the global need for affordable and accessible world-class robotic surgery. It is this same reminder that drives us forward at SS Innovations as a digital healthcare company in order to democratize global access to the latest technologies.”
