Israeli companies are innovating in the fight against COVID-19 with new sprays designed to reduce infection risks. One promising development is Bio-Wall, a nasal and oral spray by BioChange. Bio-Wall creates a temporary protective film on the mucosa of the nose, throat, and mouth, acting as a barrier against pathogens. Its antiviral matrix traps viruses like SARS-CoV-2, potentially stopping infections at their earliest stage. Clinical testing is set to begin within months, with hopes for regulatory approval by late 2021.
Bio-Wall builds on BioChange's expertise in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, repurposing its bio-adhesive scaffold technology to target pathogens. Unlike traditional treatments, this drug-free spray could provide hours of protection and complement existing measures like masks and handwashing.
Meanwhile, Nufar Natural Products has introduced the Corona Beach Spray, available in Israeli pharmacies. This disinfectant spray contains 70% alcohol for surface and hand sanitation, enhanced with jojoba oil to prevent skin dryness and eucalyptus oil for its antiseptic properties. It can be used on high-touch surfaces, facemasks, and even the air, offering versatile protection in various environments.
