SS Innovations Develops New Instruments to Advance
Robotic Surgery in Large, Underserved Patient Segments, including Pediatric and Cardiac Markets
Smaller 5-millimeter instruments to be incorporated
into the SSi Mantra surgical robotic system
Fort Lauderdale, FL - January 6, 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
announced that the Company has completed the development of five new 5-millimeter surgical instruments for clinical use across multiple
specialties, including pediatric, cardiac, and head and neck surgery, among other procedures involving smaller anatomical structures.
The newly developed 5-millimeter surgical instruments
include a spatula cautery, hook cautery, needle driver, bipolar forceps, and grasping forceps.
Dr. Vishwa Srivastava, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer for Asia Pacific, commented, "We developed several new smaller instruments designed to benefit critical surgical
robotic procedures across multiple specialties, including pediatric, cardiac, and head and neck. 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. Globally, 1.7 billion children and adolescents lack easy access to critical surgical care,
which can play a significant role in preventing disability and death.1 It has been reported that more than 390 million children
under the age of five in lower- and middle-income countries do not receive timely intervention with safe and affordable surgical care.2
Unfortunately, to date most robotic surgeries have been geared towards the adult population. We aim to make robotic surgery more accessible
to pediatric patients with new, smaller surgical instruments."
Dr. Srivastava concluded, "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. 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 December 31, 2025, the cumulative installed
base of the SSi Mantra totaled 168 systems, including 12 systems deployed across nine countries outside of India. To date, 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.

About the SSi Mantra
The SSi Mantra surgical robotic system is a user-friendly,
modular, multi-arm system with many advanced technology features, including: 3 to 5 modular robotic arms, an open-faced ergonomic surgeon
command center, a large 3D 4K monitor, a touch panel monitor for all patient related information display, a virtual real-time image of
the robotic patient side arm carts, and the ability for superimposition of 3D models of diagnostic imaging. A vision cart provides the
table-side team with the same magnified 3D 4K view as the surgeon to provide better safety and efficiency. The SSi Mantra utilizes over
40 different types of robotic endo-surgical instruments to support different specialties, including cardiac surgery. The SSi Mantra has
been clinically validated in India in more than 100 different types of surgical procedures.
