MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641022311 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 25, for 'resi band 5ini.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Poovarasan Murugaiyan; Dr. Giridharan S; and Dr. Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
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: "The present invention relates to a variable-resistance loop exercise band (5-in-1) designed to provide multiple levels of resistance within a single elastic loop. Unlike conventional TheraBand products that require separate bands of different thicknesses or colors to achieve vatying resistance levels, this innovative design incorporates a built-in adjustable mechanism a sliding sleeve based on the Chinese finger-trap principle that allows users to easily modify the band's tension. By pulling the adjuster toward the center, the braided sheath tightens and compresses the elastic core, effectively shortening its active length and increasing resistance. Releasing the adjuster relaxes the sheath, thereby reducing resistance. This invention eliminates the need for multiple bands of varying resistance, reducing equipment cost and storage space while improving convenience and hygiene in both diuical and home fitness environments. Additionally, it ensures smooth transitions between resistance levels, enhancing the safety and precision of physiotherapy exercises. In contrast, existing TheraBand-type products offer only fixed resistance levels and requtre users to switch between separate bands to progress in training. These conventional bands often lose elasticity over time, lack accurate resistance indication, and pose im.:uusistency in rehabilitation sess1ons. The present iuvention addresses these drawbacks by integrating adjustable resistance, durability, and repeatable perfom1ance within a single compact device."
