Phoenix, June 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- / At the recent ExpoMed Show in Mexico City, BioNovelus (ONOV) Chairman and founder, Jean Ekobo, was proud to introduce the newest addition to the Company’s product line. Eco Claro™ is an innovative disinfectant and antiseptic that safely addresses the growing problem of nosocomial infections.
Eco Claro™ quickly eradicates many strains of bacteria, spores, and molds, some in as little as 30 seconds, and has a lasting effect on surfaces of up to 10 hours as a disinfectant based on an independent lab study. [Micro Quality Labs Inc., CA; Dr. H. Al-Tawela] The product is designed to work both as a disinfectant, meant to be used to disinfect hard surfaces and medical instruments, as well as an antiseptic used directly on patients to disinfect wounds and to control infections. To date, there have been no commercial sales of the product as the Company is still exploring the required regulatory compliance for commercial sale in Mexico.
“Eco Claro™ is one of these promising applications,” says Ekobo. “We were very gratified to see that interest in the product was so high at ExpoMed. We are working with regulatory agencies to see which applications require registrations. If exempt from registration in Mexico, it could be available on the Mexican market soon.
BioNovelus is working with the Mexican Trade Office in partnership with the Arizona Commerce Authority to bring Eco Claro™ first to the Mexican market. “They have an effective team of people helping us with market research, connections, and the like,” says Ekobo,
The Eco Claro™ Technology family of products consist of liquids and wipes. Eco Claro™ Disinfectant will be offered in a one-liter spray bottle, and in four-liter jugs, and twenty-liter drums, while Eco Claro™ Wipes will be offered in canisters, and in boxes of 25 individually-wrapped wipes.
