India’s First Patent on Maggot Egg Dressing.

What is Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT) ?

Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT), also known as bio-surgery, involves applying live disinfected maggots or their eggs to chronic, non-healing skin and soft-tissue wounds to remove necrotic tissue, disinfect the area, and promote cleaning. Used as an adjunct to standard care—which includes diabetes management, proper nutrition, wound dressings, and off-loading—MDT can reduce the need for manual debridement and lower dependence on antibiotics.

Know More

Applicable for

Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Diabetic foot ulcers are slow-healing wounds that often develop due to poor blood circulation and nerve damage.

Chronic Non-Healing Wounds

Chronic non-healing wounds are injuries that fail to heal within the normal timeframe due to infection, poor circulation, or underlying conditions like diabetes.

Pressure & Venous Ulcers

Pressure and venous ulcers develop due to poor blood flow or continuous pressure on the skin.

Early intervention and innovative therapies like MDT can prevent severe complications.

Chronic non-healing wounds persist beyond the expected healing period.

Pressure and venous ulcers are stubborn wounds caused by restricted circulation or long-term pressure on certain body areas.

Reviving an Ancient Healing Art Development of Medical-Grade Maggot Eggs for Clinical Use in India

Maggot Innovation

Non-healing diabetic foot ulcers cause nearly a million amputations annually in India. Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT), described in the ancient Sushruta Samhita, offers a natural healing solution using sterile fly larvae. To address the lack of an indigenous source, Srikara Maggots and Research Pvt. Ltd. (SMRPL), Kolar, developed India’s first standardized medical-grade maggot eggs from Chrysomya megacephala, approved by the National Biodiversity Authority. Through controlled breeding, sterilized egg preservation at +6°C, and eight years of research, SMRPL secured a 2024 patent for its innovative process. This breakthrough unites ancient healing wisdom with modern science, providing a safe, reliable, and scalable solution for chronic and diabetic wound care in India.
