Spanish company Noventure has signed an agreement with Pierre Fabre Pharma Italy for the commercialisation of its Aprotecol device in the country.

Designed to prevent and treat bloating and intestinal colic, Aprotecol is a CE-Marked Class IIa medical device developed for infants and young children.

Abdominal tension and colic can occur due to a variety of factors, including intestinal mucosa leakage and gas-producing bacteria growth in the intestines.

Noventure CEO Luciano Conde said: “Aprotecol is an innovative product that will help to improve the quality of life of young patients across Italy affected by colic and bloating, as well as their parents.

“We firmly believe that partnering with Pierre Fabre, whose commitment to children’s healthcare is recognised worldwide, represents a great opportunity for Noventure to further disseminate its innovative barrier technology.”

Available as an oral oily suspension, Aprotecol supports the mucosal barrier and rebalances the intestinal flora.
