MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051056 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on April 22, 2026, for A Novel Manually-Operated Thermal Activation Device For Root Canal Irrigants.
Inventors include Hema Chandra Rohith. Sikak Ollu; Dr. Manish Ranjan; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT: The present invention discloses a novel manually operated thermal activation device designed to heat root canal irrigants in a controlled manner immediately prior to and during irrigation. The device is hand-compatible, chairside-usable, and does not require external electrical power. It incorporates a battery operated heating mechanism, an irrigant-holding chamber, and a manual delivery system, enabling uniform temperature elevation of irrigants such·as sodium hypochlorite before intracanal delivery. The invention aims to improve the biological efficacy of irrigants by enhancing antimicrobial activity and tissue dissolution while maintaining clinical safety and ease of use. The device offers a practical solution for thermal activation of irrigants in routine endodontic practice.
