Masaryk University Has Three New Utility Models
Masaryk University obtained further protection for its intellectual property when on 18 June 2024 utility models entitled "An antimicrobial polysaccharide transparent film for the treatment of early infections" and "An injectable gel from natural resin with bacteriophages for the healing of infected wounds" were registered in the register of the Industrial Property Office. On Tuesday 25 June 2024, another utility model was registered under the title 'A microfluidic chip and an analytical assembly for the characterisation and identification of microbes using optical detection methods'. The utility models are valid until 2028.
The subject of the technical solution of the utility model "An antimicrobial polysaccharide transparent film for the treatment of early infections" is a hydrogel cover for the treatment of infected skin defects with the possibility of monitoring the condition of the wound, prepared from biocompatible and biodegradable polymers, which is enriched with antimicrobial agents.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE UTILITY MODEL
The subject of the technical solution of the utility model "An injectable gel from natural resin with bacteriophages for the healing of infected wounds" is a transparent injectable hydrogel prepared from biocompatible and biodegradable polymers, which is enriched with antimicrobial bacteriophages. The hydrogel is designed for filling skin defects and for supporting the treatment of infected skin defects with the possibility to monitor the wound status during the healing process.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE UTILITY MODEL
The technical solution of the utility model "A microfluidic chip and an analytic assembly for the characterization and identification of microbes using optical detection methods" relates to a microfluidic chip and analytical assembly for the characterisation and identification of microbes. It can be used to measure the effect of antibiotics on bacteria, to preserve bacteria in microchambers and to measure their viability by various detection methods (e.g. fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, etc.).
