It ensures easy use and correct positioning of eye droppers
Gerresheimer has developed an application aid called DropAid. It helps dropper bottle users to open the bottle and, when placed on the bottle neck, it makes it easy and simple to positioning the dropper correctly above the eye.
“We put ourselves in the shoes of the person who has to use the eye drops and considered how we could make it easier to use. That’s how we came up with this small but extremely useful DropAid that we’d like to recommend to all our customers who manufacture eye drops. It will also help them to ensure better compliance in the medications,” said Niels Düring, Global Senior Vice President Plastic Packaging at Gerresheimer.
Reportedly, DropAid is incredibly easy to use, so it’s ideal for senior patients and children. It has a circular aperture which fits perfectly onto the eye drop bottle top and helps to open it with very little effort or pressure. If DropAid is placed vertically on the bottle neck with the crescent part clipped onto the open bottle, it can be rested firmly on the side of the eye so that the correct number of drops can be given, informs a company release.
DropAid fits ‘System A Dropper Bottles’ for ophthalmic applications.
Gerresheimer’s products for ophthalmic and nasal applications include LDPE, HDPE, PP and other materials for bottles and droppers and CLC bottles.
