MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641021697 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 24, for 'cryo-thermo pulsed compression boot for insertional achilles tendonitis.'
Inventor(s) include Sowmiya E; Kotteesw Aran K; and Dr. Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a Cryo-Thermo Pulsed Compression Boot specifically designed for the treatment and rehabilitation of insertional Achilles tendonitis and related posterior ankle pathologies. The device integrates alternating cold therapy, heat therapy, and cyclic pneumatic compression into a single wearable boot to deliver targeted, physiologically optimized healing conditions to the Achilles tendon insertion. The system incorporates temperature-controlled cryo and thermo modules, inflatable compression chambers, and an intelligent microcontroller-based regulation unit that coordinates pulsed pressure cycles with programmed thermal transitions. Integrated temperature, pressure, and tissue-contact sensors enable closed-loop feedback to ensure accurate, safe, and individualized therapy delivery. By synchronizing vascular modulation from thermal cycling with edema reduction produced by pulsed compression, the invention accelerates tendon recovery, reduces inflammation, improves local circulation, and enhances collagen remodeling. The boot is suitable for use in physiotherapy clinics, sports rehabilitation centers, and home-care environments, offering a non-invasive, portable, and highly effective treatment modality for Achilles tendon disorders."
