MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611114276 A) filed by Noida Institute Of Engineering And Technology on September 24, 2026, for Living Probiotic Hydrogel Composition And Method For Preparing Probiotic Hydrogel Bandage.
Inventors include Dr. Rashmi Mishra; and Adnan Ahmad.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a living probiotic hydrogel composition (100) for targeted microbiome modulation and accelerated healing of chronic wounds, and a method (200) for preparing a living probiotic hydrogel bandage therefrom. The composition (100) comprises a sodium alginate composition (102), a sterile aqueous medium (104) configured to suspend viable probiotic bacterial cells (106), viable probiotic bacterial cells (106) dispersed within the sodium alginate composition (102), and an ionic crosslinking agent (108) configured to form a hydrogel matrix encapsulating the viable probiotic bacterial cells (106). In an embodiment, the viable probiotic bacterial cells comprise Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. The hydrogel matrix provides localized sustained release of the viable probiotic bacterial cells (106) and rehydrates upon contact with wound exudate to restore bacterial metabolic activity. The method (200) comprises culturing, harvesting, mixing, ionic crosslinking, forming the hydrogel into a living probiotic hydrogel bandage, lyophilizing the bandage to preserve bacterial viability, and packaging the lyophilized bandage under sterile conditions.
