MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124462 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 10, 2025, for 'chitosan collagen curcumin composite bandages with nanoparticles for enhanced antibacterial activity and wound healing.'
Inventor(s) include Tenin Josewin; N. Ananthi; D. J Mukesh Kumar; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This new invention is for a next-generation wound bandage, built fiom a unique blend of two natural materials: chitosan and collagen. We've supercharged this blend by embedding tiny nanoparticles filled with curcumin. The chitosan does what it does best by stopping bleeding and fights microbes. The collagen acts like a familiar scaffold for the body's own cells, encouraging them to migrate and rebuild tissue. The real challenge we solved was with the curcumin. While it's a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, it's notoriously unstable and doesn't dissolve well in water. By locking it inside nanoparticles, we protect it and allow it to be released in a slow, controlled maimer right where it's needed. The final product is a flexible, strong, and breathable dressing that maintains a perfect moist healing environment. It is designed for the toughest wounds, like diabetic ulcers and severe burns. Because it delivers a powerful one-two antibacterial punch from both the chitosan and the curcumin, it reduces the need for harsh additives like silver. Ultimately, this bandage offers a practical, effective, and biocompatible solution that works with the body's natural processes to significantly speed up healing."
