MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641068338 A) filed by Takshashila University on June 01, 2026, for Smart Adaptive Gum Massaging Device With Pressure Controlled Microfluidic Drug Delivery System.
Inventors include Rajeshkumar. K; B. Sharmila; Dr. K. Puviyarasi; and M. Vasanthkumar.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The titled invention discloses a smart gum massaging device integrated with a pressure-controlled microfluidic drug delivery system. The device comprises a handle housing (1), a gum-contact head (2), a pressure sensing unit (4), a control circuit (7), and a drug reservoir (6) with a micro-valve mechanism (5). The system detects the applied pressure during gum massage and releases a controlled quantity of therapeutic agent only when the pressure falls within a predefined optimal range. This prevents gum damage caused by excessive force and ensures effective delivery of medication. The device includes a vibration mechanism (8) to enhance gum stimulation and a replaceable cartridge system for different medicated formulations. The invention provides improved oral hygiene, targeted therapy, and enhanced safety compared to conventional gum massager.
