MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521132693 A) filed by Bhola, Nitin; Mundada, Bhushan; Sonpal, Parmarth; and Dixit, Divya Suvarna on December 27, 2025, for A Mandibular Angle Compression Device.
Inventors include Bhola, Nitin; Mundada, Bhushan; Sonpal, Parmarth; and Dixit, Divya Suvarna.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a mandibular angle compression device designed to apply controlled, uniform, and bilateral force during mandibular fracture reduction and fixation. The device comprises contact pads (101) that interface with the mandibular angle to deliver compressive force, arms (102) connected to said contact pads for leverage and positioning, an adjustment screw (103) that regulates and locks the degree of compression, and a hinge joint (104) enabling symmetrical bilateral movement. The system ensures precise, repeatable, and hands-free compression at the mandibular angle, overcoming inconsistencies associated with manual pressure application by surgeons or assistants. The adjustable mechanism allows customization of applied force according to surgical requirements, thereby minimizing operator fatigue, human error, and lingual flaring of fracture sites. The device offers enhanced stability during plating procedures and promotes improved anatomical reduction, clinical efficiency, and postoperative outcomes through uniform, controlled, and ergonomically applied mandibular compression.
