Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed May 11, 2017
File No. 333-216054
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In response to the Staff’s letter
of June 2, 2017, AVRA Medical Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby files Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement on Form S-1.
The following sets forth the Company’s
response to the comments set forth in the Staff’s letter. For your convenience, the response to each comment follows the
comment itself.
Selling Shareholders,
page 20
Comment:
1. We note your response to our prior
comment
number 11. As an affiliate
of yours, it appears that Mr. Cohen may
have facilitated
a distribution
of shares by you without registration
to the referenced “third
parties” as
statutory underwriter.
Provide your analysis
of how sales to the
third parties was not such
a distribution,
or provide additional disclosure explaining
that these sales may
not have been conducted in compliance with
Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933
Response:
We believe that the transfers and sales
of shares by Mr. Cohen did not constitute a distribution, but rather a limited number of transfers and sales pursuant to exemptions
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The transfers
and sales, all of which occurred in 2016 and early 2017 prior to filing of the registration statement consisted of:
· The transfer of 1,527,000 shares without consideration for estate planning purposes to 13 family
members, which transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as they did not constitute a “sale”
of a security pursuant to Section 2(a)(3) thereof.

· The sale of 1,350,000 shares to five non-affiliated parties in privately negotiated transactions
pursuant to the so called “Section 4(a)1-1/2” exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act, each purchaser having entered into a written agreement with the seller and having provided customary investment representations.

or financial relationship whatsoever between the Company and AVRA Surgical, Inc. Moreover, the Company is not using any of the
technology that AVRA Surgical, Inc. had in development. All the technology being used by the Company in developing its products
has been developed in conjunction with the University of Central Florida, pursuant to the Research Agreement entered into on May
1, 2016, as disclosed in the registration statement.
