MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541121462 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 4, 2025, for 'next-gen laparoscopic probe with unified biopsy and real-time histological analysis module.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. M. Ramamoorthy; Dr. K. Nattar Kannan; and Dr Ramya Mohan.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "he invention relates to a multifunctional laparoscopic probe designed to perform both tissue biopsy and real-time histological analysis during minimally invasive surgical procedures. This integrated device streamlines diagnostic workflows by eliminating the delay associated with sending samples to external labs. The system incorporates a biopsy needle, micro-imaging sensors, and a compact in-situ analysis unit, thereby enhancing surgical precision, reducing procedure time, and improving patient outcomes. Designed for compatibility with standard laparoscopic ports, the invention features an ergonomic, sterilizable design and supports Al-assisted diagnostics, wireless connectivity, and modular cartridge replacements for different imaging techniques or tissue types. This intelligent probe addresses the long-standing clinical challenge of delayed intraoperative tissue diagnostics, offering a cost-effective, efficient, and scalable solution suitable for both advanced surgical centers and resource-limited environments."
