MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641001484 A) filed by Meenakshi Academy Of Higher Education And Research; and Meenakshi Ammal Dental College And Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 6, for 'high-precision micro-aspirator tip for controlled debridement of implant screw access channels.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Deepanjali M; Dr Bhuvaneshwari P; and Dr. R. J. Vijayashree.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a high-precision dental micro-aspirator tip for controlled and atraumatic debridement of implant screw access channels. The device comprises an ultra-slender hollow cylindrical body defining an internal lumen configured to maintain laminar micro-suction, a precision-engineered distal end terminating in a micro-aspiration orifice, and a standardized proximal coupling adapted for connection to high-volume evacuator systems. The distal end is tapered, flared, or micro-beveled with smoothly finished edges to permit safe insertion into narrow implant channels and to selectively evacuate cotton fibers, PTFE tape fragments, composite debris, and fluid residues without damaging abutment screw heads or internal implant threads. A removable protective sleeve regulates tissue contact and handling, while a manually operable vent port enables real-time modulation of suction intensity. The focused geometry and controlled airflow allow efficient removal of accumulated materials from confined implant cavities. The invention thereby improves safety, precision, visibility, and efficiency during implant procedures."
