SS Innovations Provides Update on Continuing Progress and Milestones
-- Advancing global expansion, pediatric robotic surgery and telesurgery --
-- Growing SSi Mantra installations, procedures and utilization --
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – September 10, 2026 – SS Innovations International, Inc. (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 provided an update on the Company’s continuing progress and milestones.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of SS Innovations, commented, “Our advanced, cost-effective SSi Mantra surgical robotic system (the “SSi Mantra”) is benefitting lives globally, one patient at a time, from a 45-day old baby needing kidney surgery in India to a cardiac patient in Sri Lanka. Our progress in democratizing access to state-of-the-art surgical robotic care continues to be reflected in growing SSi Mantra installations, procedures and utilization.”
Recent Company Progress and Milestones:
Global Expansion
| o | Colombia. On July 29, 2026, Dr. Sudhir Srivastava officially launched the robotic cardiac surgery program at La Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia (FCV) in Bucaramanga, Colombia, performing the country’s first Totally Endoscopic Beating-Heart Bypass Surgery using the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system. |
| o | Sri Lanka. On August 23, 2026, Kings Hospital Colombo installed the first SSi Mantra surgical robotic system in Sri Lanka, marking the official launch of the medical center’s robotic surgery program. Following its installation at Kings Hospital, the SSi Mantra has been utilized to perform the country’s first robotic-assisted cardiac surgery and over 25 other robotic surgeries within the first three weeks of operation. |
| o | Global Installed Base. With the installation in Sri Lanka, the SSi Mantra’s global installed base now spans 12 countries, including a leading presence in the Company’s immense home market of India. |
| o | US and EU Regulatory Review. Looking ahead, SS Innovations expects that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will complete its review of the Company’s 510(k) premarket notification for the SSi Mantra by the end of the first quarter of 2027 and believes that a European Union CE marking certification can be obtained by the end of 2026. |
Pediatric Robotic Surgery
| o | Intricate Robot-Assisted Pediatric Surgery. On August 14, 2026, the Company’s SSi Mantra surgical robotic system and 5-millimeter instrumentation were utilized by Dr. M. Ramalingam to perform a robotic pyeloplasty on a 45-day-old baby at Hindusthan Hospital in Coimbatore, India. The infant recovered rapidly after successful completion of the complex yet minimally invasive kidney procedure. This accomplishment represents another proof point for the SSi Mantra’s capabilities in pediatric robotic surgery, which involves the smallest patients and requires superior precision and control during suturing and cutting, among other surgical tasks. |
| o | Cumulative Pediatric Surgeries. As of August 31, 2026, a total of 258 pediatric robotic surgeries have been completed with the SSi Mantra. |
Robotic Telesurgery
| o | Longest-Distance Telesurgery. On July 29, 2026, a team of surgeons led by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava utilized the SSi Mantra to perform a successful robotic telesurgery between Colombia and India, spanning more than 13,600 miles (22,000 kilometers) of fiber network distance and eclipsing the previous longest-distance telesurgery record also held by the Company. The telesurgery, a robotic sleeve gastrectomy, was performed remotely from Hospital Internacional de Colombia in Bucaramanga, Colombia on a patient located at Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics in Indore, India. |
| o | Expanding Ecosytem in India. On August 9, 2026, Ahmedabad, India-based Shalby Hospital joined an expanding ecosystem of healthcare institutions utilizing the SSi Mantra to perform robotic-assisted telesurgery. Three surgical procedures were successfully performed remotely from SS Innovations’ headquarters in Gurugram, India, more than 590 miles (950 kilometers) from the patients at Shalby Hospital. |
| o | Launch of Telesurgery in the Philippines. On September 5, 2026, the SSi Mantra was used to perform the first telesurgery within the Philippines between Pampanga and Cotabato, a distance of approximately 1,070 miles (1,710 kilometers). |
| o | Cumulative Telesurgeries. As of August 31, 2026, a total of 188 robotic telesurgeries have been completed with the SSi Mantra. |
Increasing Utilization and Scale
| o | 50 Robot-Assisted Surgeries in a Single Day. On August 15, 2026, the surgical team at Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics in Indore, India utilized five separate SSi Mantra systems to successfully complete 50 robotic general surgery procedures in a single day, demonstrating the robustness of the Company’s technology. |
2
| o | Practice and Hospital Milestones. Numerous practices and hospitals across India and abroad are surpassing the 200+, 100+ and 50+ procedure milestones with the SSi Mantra, indicating growing utilization and ability to scale. |
Growing Installations and Procedures
| o | More than 14,000 Successful Procedures. As of September 8, 2026, the SSi Mantra cumulative installed base totaled 238, up 42% from 168 at the end of 2025 and the number of multi-specialty procedures completed with the SSi Mantra totaled 14,103, up 79% from 7,885 at the end of 2025. |
| o | Broad Pool of Surgeon Users. To date, approximately 1,500 physicians have been trained on the SSi Mantra, which has been utilized to perform over 170 different types of surgical procedures. |
