Tested for Microbiological Integrity

Aptar Pharma provides a set of data and test methods for the OSD which is designed to support pharmaceutical customers in preparing the dispensing part of their finished product dossier

Developed for use with preservative-free formulations

The OSD has been developed for use without preservatives or additives such as silver ions or surface coating.

It utilizes a purely mechanical Tip-Seal technology and a filter-membrane. The Tip-Seal prevents backflow into the tip and the sterile filter membrane filters any incoming air when the system is ventilated.

OSD Technology Platform offers a wide application range for preservative-free eye-care treatments

Our versatile technology platform offers easy customization solutions for the Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser, including color customization to fit branding needs.

A choice of product features makes our OSD system highly adaptable to specific formulation needs, including prescription medications and over-the-counter products.

Designed to help with convenient and intuitive handling for consumers and patients

The OSD together with the customer’s selected bottle is designed to provide convenience for on-the-go use as well as to help with convenient and intuitive handling for consumers and patients.

Metal-free fluid pathway and inert packaging materials protect eye‑care formulations

Inert and safe packaging is particularly important for sensitive eye-care formulations. The OSD’s fluid pathway is metal-free, enabling it to avoid any oxidative reactions of the formulation with ferric metals.

To protect highly sensitive or reactive formulations, particularly inert plastic materials can be used for the container and the spray pin of the Tip-Seal.

Compatible with existing filling technologies

The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser can be implemented on existing filling lines and requires no major refitting of production facilities. The OSD’s easy filling process helps to simplify your manufacturing processes.
