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

| Treatment Approach | Oral Antibiotics Alone | OTC Boric Acid Suppositories | BVBalance™ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recurrence Rate (3 months) | ~30% recurrence | ~20–30% recurrence | Designed for meaningfully lower recurrence* |
| Biofilm Disruption | Limited — biofilms shield pathogens | Partial, pH-based disruption | Targeted biofilm disruptor, used as an antibiotic adjunct |
| Microbiome Restoration | Not addressed | Not addressed | Sustained Lactobacillus delivery |
| Treatment Duration | 5–7 day oral course | Nightly insertion for 2–3 weeks | Single insert, active over 14–30 days |
| Retrieval Required | N/A (oral) | N/A (dissolves) | None — fully bioresorbable |

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
- OB/GYN & women's health providersThe primary channel at launch, focused on clinician education.
- PharmaciesRetail and specialty pharmacy distribution, with work toward a reimbursement code.
- Direct-to-consumerAn owned platform for access, education and ongoing support.
- 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.
Provider & Clinical Trial Portal
Clinicians and research partners can track enrollment status, view study protocols, and access investigational-use materials for BVBalance™.
Request Provider AccessMeet the Team Behind Solibra Health
Balance starts with good design — and with a team that has lived the problem it is solving.

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
Early milestones from the ASU ecosystem that has backed Solibra Health from day one.

Biomaterials Day
Third place in the poster session.

NEXUS Summit
Presented the project to researchers, investors, and industry professionals.

ASU SBHSE Symposium
Won best overall capstone project in the biomedical engineering department.

Venture Devils Pitch Competition
Won prize funding (awarded during early development as Olora Health).
