MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641072888 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on June 12, 2026, for Surgidose: Integrated Drug-Dispensing Mandibular Dental Extraction Forceps With Controlled Intraoperative Delivery System.
Inventors include Vishal Ramachandran; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The increasing demand for efficiency, asepsis, and minimally invasive techniques in oral and maxillofacial surgery has highlighted the limitations of conventional extraction forceps, which are restricted to mechanical tooth removal and require separate instruments for drug application. This invention introduces an integrated drug- dispensing mandibular extraction forceps designed to overcome these challenges through a cartridge-based, manually actuated delivery system embedded within the handle. The device enables controlled, sterile, and localized intraoperative administration of pharmacological agents directly into the extraction socket via an internal micro-channel terminating at the beak. With an ergonomic and autoclavable design, the instrument allows simultaneous tooth extraction and drug delivery, reducing procedural time and contamination risk. By ensuring precise and immediate therapeutic action, it enhances haemostasis, reduces postoperative complications, and improves patient outcomes. This multifunctional innovation offers a more efficient and predictable alternative to conventional techniques, aligning with modern principles of minimally invasive and patient-centred dental care.
