MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123992 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 9, 2025, for 'polycaprolactone (pcl) incorporated with zirconium oxide and silver oxide nanocomposite scaffold for bone.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. G. Janani; Dr Arvina Rajasekar; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
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: "PCL has great mechanical properties besides its biocompatible nature, but its hydrophobic nature impedes effective osteoblast cell attachment which is another drawback when it comes to bone tissue engineering. The integration of ZrO2 provided added structural integrity and potential osteoconductive properties. AgO2 provided Hemocompatibility and antimicrobial properties. Overall, the PCL-ZrO2-Ag2O nanocomposite scaffold present promising characteristics for bone regeneration, combining mechanical robustness, favorable biological interactions, and effective antimicrobial activity, which are crucial for the success of orthopaedics, implants and other bone-related applications."
