India Backs First Indigenous Stroke Treatment Device
India is getting its first made-in-India tool for treating strokes!
The government's TDB is helping a company called S3V Vascular build this special device.
They'll set up a factory to make these tools in Chennai, which are usually bought from other countries.
This should make stroke treatment cheaper and help India rely less on foreign products.
The company also plans to get approval to sell their device in other countries.
This is a step towards making India a hub for advanced medical technology.
Technology Development Board (TDB) is backing S3V Vascular Technologies.
The backing is for India's first indigenous mechanical thrombectomy device.
The project involves a manufacturing plant in Chennai's Medical Devices Park.
The goal is to enhance affordability and reduce reliance on imported equipment.
S3V Vascular will seek approvals for global expansion.
