The inability to continue with clinical trials during the pandemic forced us to temporarily refocus our attentions to more pressing needs. Alcohol based hand sanitiser gels have many drawbacks including their flammability, toxicity and questionable effectiveness against coronavirus. Spheritech can now announce that our alcohol free barrier cream which consists of antimicrobial microparticles with proven efficacy against bacteria, fungi and coronavirus has been approved for manufacture and sale. This novel 2 in 1 barrier cream is now commercially available under the trade name SpheriLyse. Why SpheriLyse? It consists of antimicrobial spherical microparticles that are proven to lead to cell lysis.
