MUMBAI, India, Sept. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517084438 A) filed by Safeheal SAS, Paris, on Sept. 5, for 'systems and methods for introducing and monitoring a negative pressure device for protecting an intestinal anastomosis.'
Inventor(s) include Augelli, Michael J; and Congdon, Daniel.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Systems and methods for monitoring a bypass device for protecting an intestinal anastomosis are provided. The system includes a pump, one or more fluid inlet lines fluidicly coupled to the pump and to a negative pressure chamber of the bypass device, and one or more sensors configured to measure data indicative of pressure within the negative pressure chamber. A controller operatively coupled to the pump and the one or more sensors may be programmed to actuate the pump to generate a vacuum within the negative pressure chamber to thereby pull intestinal tissue towards the bypass device to anchor the bypass device at a target location upstream of the intestinal anastomosis. The controller further may compare the pressure within the negative pressure chamber with a predetermined pressure range and, if the pressure falls outside the predetermined pressure range, adjust the pump to maintain the vacuum within the predetermined pressure range."
The patent application was internationally filed on Mar. 15, 2024, under International application No.PCT/IB2024/052550.
