Aptar Pharma has launched its new multidose dispenser for unpreserved ophthalmic preparations, solving the majority of current issues associated with ophthalmic multidose devices. The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser (OSD) is designed to be used with many liquid ophthalmic medications, in particular those for chronic conditions such as glaucoma or dry eye; the simple intuitive use is ideal for the target group. Preservatives can be omitted, which will be appreciated by the high number of patients experiencing eye irritation or allergic responses with preserved formulations. The new device can provide a cutting edge for life-cycle management of established products, using existing filling technology.
