A breakthrough in India's medical technology landscape has emerged with government backing for S3V Vascular Technologies, a Mysuru-headquartered company developing indigenous stroke intervention devices.

The Technology Development Board has greenlit financial assistance for what could become India's first locally-manufactured mechanical thrombectomy system.
