Additionally, the Neutrox™ family includes NeutroPhase® for wound care and CellarX™ for dermatology applications. The Aganocide® compounds are led by Auriclosene™, further showcasing NovaBay's innovative approach to non-antibiotic therapies.
NovaBay's flagship product, Avenova Antimicrobial Lid and Lash Solution (Avenova Spray), is laboratory tested to possess broad antimicrobial properties. It effectively removes foreign material, including microorganisms and debris from the skin around the eye, making it a valuable tool for eyecare professionals to manage blepharitis and dry-eye disease. Avenova Spray is available to consumers both through online distribution channels and as a prescription product dispensed by eyecare professionals.
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals operates two main segments: Eyecare, and Wound Care and Skincare. This diversified approach allows the company to leverage its expertise in antimicrobial solutions across multiple therapeutic areas, thereby expanding its market reach and impact.
Financially, NovaBay continues to strengthen its market position through strategic partnerships and continuous innovation. The company's relentless pursuit of excellence in eyecare and skincare underscores its commitment to improving patient outcomes globally.
