MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641044097 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 7, for 'electrospun gelatin-polyvinyl alcohol (pva) nanofibrous scaffold with enhanced bioactivity for skin tissue engineering and wound regeneratiion.'
Inventor(s) include Senthil Rethinam; Baskar V; and 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: "The present invention discloses a biocompatible electrospun nanofibrous scaffold comprising gelatin and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in a defined weight ratio of 3:2, engineered for skin tissue engineering and wound regeneration applications. The scaffold is vapor-phase crosslinked using glutaraldehyde, thereby significantly improving mechanical strength, structural integrity, and aqueous stability without compromising cytocompatibility. The fabricated nanofibers exhibit uniform diameters in the range of 150-350 nm, closely resembling the native extracellular matrix architecture and facilitating enhanced adhesion, proliferation, and viability of human dermal fibroblasts. Owing to its favorable physicochemical properties and biological performance, the scaffold is particularly suitable for clinical wound healing and skin regeneration applications."
