MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641044093 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 7, for 'adaptive inflatable mattress system for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Jawahar Mukesh; Dr. Prathap Suganthirababu; and Dr. Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An adaptive inflatable mattress system for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of independently controllable inflatable air cells arranged across a full-body support surface and configured to support a patient in a supine or other resting positions. A sensor layer is integrated with the mattress and configured to monitor patient support interface conditions, including at least pressure and optionally temperature and humidity. A control unit receives sensor data and determines risk conditions associated with localized tissue loading and microclimate factors. In response to a detected risk condition, the control unit automatically adjusts inflation of selected air cells to redistribute mechanical load by relieving pressure in high-risk regions while elevating adjacent regions to maintain anatomical alignment and patient comfort. The system further includes a localized oxygen delivery arrangement configured to selectively deliver oxygen or oxygen-enriched gas to one or more patient contact regions through an oxygen-pem1eable surface, thereby supporting tissue oxygenation and wound healing. The mattress system operates in a closed loop manner to provide continuous adaptive pressure management, microclimate regulation, and therapeutic support for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment."
