Inventor(s) include Aruna P; Logavarsshini A; Sriganesh M; Vishnuvardhanan N; and Dr. J Bindhu.
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: "The present invention relates to the extraction and characterization of a novel natural cellulosic fibre obtained from rhe leaves of Ziziphus mauritiana for potential use as a wound-healing biomaterial. The fibre, isolated through a controlled extraction process, exhibits desirable structural, mechanical, and physicochemical properties suitable for biomedical applications. Characterization studies confirm its cellulose-rich composition, thermal stability, and uniform morphology. Biological evaluations demonstrate that the fibre possesses inherent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and biocompatible characteristics, Sllpporting cell adhesion, proliferation, and accelerated tissue regeneration. Owing to its natural origin, biodegradability, and therapeutic functionality, the extracted fibre serves as a promising, eco-friendly, and cost-effective material for wound dressings, tissue-repair scaffolds, and other regenerative applications."
