CAPTURE & CONTAIN ™
ON A MISSION TO PROTECT PATIENTS. DIFFERENTLY
The Capture and Contain Platform (C&C™) is based on natural 3-D polymeric network tailored to optimally adhere to the nasal mucosal surface. The polymeric network creates a physical barrier that Captures and Contains biological assaults and prevent their penetration.
The C&C™ platform can be readily adapted for a wide range of applications to protect the human body from airborne assaults like allergens, viruses and molds.
C&C Technology Advantages:
Easy to use
Fast acting
Non-irritant liquid spray
Non-drip
Optimal coverage of upper respiratory cavity
3-5h protection for each application
WE ARE CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS
microorganisms transmitted by an airborne route may be spread via fine mist, dust, aerosols, or liquids. 90% of the contaminated air we breathe is inhaled through the nose and can cause serious health issues.

COVID-19
COVID-19 is most infective in the upper respiratory system, where the cells express the highest level of ACE2 receptor. Then, in some cases, the virus is aspirated into the lungs where it may cause more serious disease, including potentially fatal pneumonia.
