BVBalance™ · Investigational Prototype · Patent Pending

A bioresorbable path to lasting vaginal microbiome balance

BVBalance™ pairs a targeted biofilm disruptor with sustained Lactobacillus delivery in a single fully bioresorbable insert — designed to break the recurrent BV cycle alongside standard oral antibiotics.

Adaptive Auxetic Scaffold & Biphasic Payload Delivery

Standard antibiotics treat the infection. They don't treat why it keeps coming back.

Protective bacterial biofilms shield pathogens from oral antibiotics, driving the recurrence cycle that leaves patients and providers searching for a better answer.

30%

of women experience BV recurrence within 3 months of oral treatment

50-70%

of recurrent cases are linked to persistent vaginal biofilms

Zero-Retrieval Profile

BVBalance™ safely bioresorbs completely over 14–30 days via PLGA degradation — no follow-up removal visit required.

How BVBalance™ Fits Into Treatment

The intended treatment sequence, from diagnosis through the antibiotic course.

  1. BV symptoms appear
  2. Patient seeks medical care
  3. Patient is diagnosed with BV
  4. Standard antibiotics and BVBalance™ are prescribed
  5. Patient begins the oral antibiotic and inserts BVBalance™ at the same time
  6. The antibiotic course continues while BVBalance™ stays in place
  7. BVBalance™ bioresorbs over the course of the antibiotics
  8. No removal visit required

Illustrative sequence. BVBalance™ is an investigational prototype not yet cleared for clinical or commercial use.

Manufacturing & Quality

Three fabrication streams run in parallel, each gated by its own quality checkpoint, then converge into a single finishing line.

Parallel fabrication

Scaffold

Bioresorbable auxetic scaffold fabrication

Hydrogel

Hydrogel and chitosan preparation

Applicator

Applicator molding and finishing

Quality checkpoint on every stream

Converged finishing line

  1. Aseptic filling
  2. Sterilization
  3. Packaging

Go-to-Market Strategy

Reaching women already seeking care, through the clinicians they already see and the channels they already use.

Multi-channel launch approach

  1. OB/GYN & women's health providersThe primary channel at launch, focused on clinician education.
  2. PharmaciesRetail and specialty pharmacy distribution, with work toward a reimbursement code.
  3. Direct-to-consumerAn owned platform for access, education and ongoing support.
  4. Scale utilizationWiden the clinician network and work toward integration into routine care.

Phased market entry

Phase 1 — Verification & validation

Complete preclinical and clinical validation, and generate the data behind any claim.

Phase 2 — FDA & regulatory

Finalize design and quality systems, pursue FDA clearance, and stand up compliant manufacturing.

Phase 3 — Launch

Open retail and direct-to-consumer channels alongside education and awareness work.

Planned commercial strategy. BVBalance™ is an investigational prototype not yet cleared for clinical or commercial use, and no launch timing is implied.

Meet the Team Behind Solibra Health

Balance starts with good design — and with a team that has lived the problem it is solving.

The Solibra Health founding team

Founding Roots

Solibra Health was founded by an all-female Biomedical Engineering team spun out of Arizona State University — built from the ground up to close a long-ignored gap in women's health.

Clinical Research Network

We work in close collaboration with women's health clinicians and advisors, including institutions such as Mayo Clinic Phoenix, to ground every design decision in real clinical practice.

Our Mission

To transform gynecological health by turning women's lived experiences into trusted, science-backed solutions that break cycles of recurrence and restore biological balance.

Traction & Recognition
