Advanced IP Technologies Ltd (AIPT), a step down subsidiary company of Arrow Coated Products Ltd, has received a patent for water-soluble multi-layer film product from Indian Patent Office. The rights under this patent are protected till 2025.
 
This invention relates to a dosing system which contains active ingredients, embedded within and/or coated upon water soluble or water dispersible polymers. The active ingredients are released at a precise rate from a readily soluble polymer into an aqueous environment through one or more perforated, less readily soluble water-soluble films. This patent has been devised for delivery of pharmaceutical ingredients, medication or nutrients to the body in-vivo or in-vitro.
   
Post operation, the patient's natural resistance is weakened and deadly viruses like MRSA and VISA can attack surface wounds. This patent helps in controlling diseases externally during post-operative care.
 
"Inputs from professionals based in Israel and from experts in water soluble films, based in UK, were garnered to design this hi-tech product. The use of patent will save human beings from the obligation of coming back to hospital, during post-operative periods. The product made out of this patent 'dissolves' itself over time and is bio-absorbed within the body of the human or animal after it has delivered the drugs precisely to the desired location," said Arrow Coated Products in a press release.
