Medical device company Biovo Technologies Ltd revealed on Thursday that it has commissioned its Cuffix devices in the largest newly established COVID-19 ward in one of Israel's leading hospitals, with a capacity of 170 ventilated patients.

The company added that Cuffix is the first and only economical, self-contained, disposable cuff pressure regulator and monitor in the market.

As ICUs are full and medical personnel is stretched to the limit, the single use products including Cuffix can assist with treating COVID-19 patients and reduce nurse work load. This has dramatically increased worldwide interest in Biovo's products.

Under the company's plan to increase sales and production volumes, it has signed distribution agreements in Australia and Brazil and following the recent 510K FDA clearance, the next commercialization step is in the USA and discussions are already underway.
