About Polyrizon
We are a development stage biotech company specializing in the
development of innovative medical device hydrogels delivered in the
form of nasal sprays, which form a thin hydrogel-based shield
containment barrier in the nasal cavity that can provide a barrier
against viruses and allergens from contacting the nasal epithelial
tissue. Our proprietary Capture and Contain TM, or C&C,
hydrogel technology, comprised of a mixture of naturally occurring
building blocks, is delivered in the form of nasal sprays, and
potentially functions as a “biological mask” with a thin shield
containment barrier in the nasal cavity. We are further developing
certain aspects of our C&C hydrogel technology such as the
bioadhesion and prolonged retention at the nasal deposition site
for intranasal delivery of drugs. We refer to our additional
technology, which is in an earlier stage of pre-clinical
development, that is focused on nasal delivery of active
pharmaceutical ingredients, or APIs, as Trap and Target ™, or
T&T.
