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: "Myopump- calf and hamstring muscle activator Abstract: A calf muscle activator device is introduced by the innovation, which is intended to improve blood circulation and activate lower limb muscles, especially for those who have difficulty with leg movement or stand for a prolonged period of time. To promote venous return and avoid vascular problems including varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and leg weariness, the calf muscles are stimulated mechanically, vibrationally, or electrically in a regulated pattern. Long-term standing increases accumulation of blood in the lower limbs and decreases venous return, which causes more strain on the veins. This leads to in ankle and calf pain, edema, and muscular exhaustion. If not treated, these consequences might lead to discomfo11, decreased movement, and chronic venous insufficiency. Additionally, it may strengthen secondary muscle groups like the lower quadriceps and hamstrings, which would enhance lower limb function and reduce pain. The device has frequency and intensity settings that may be adjusted for individualized usage in therapy or prevention. The innovation provides an efticient way to preserve lower limb health in hospital, home, and work environments since it is small, lightweight, and non-invasive."
