Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser (OSD) Technology Platform
Multidose Systems, Eye Care DropperAptar Pharma’s Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser is a leading solution for preservative-free prescription and over-the-counter products. Tested for microbiological integrity (properties of customer formulations require additional testing) and with more than 500 market references and counting worldwide, it is the technology of choice for multidose, preservative-free systems in eye care.
Clearly the World’s Favorite
Multidose technology designed for use with preservative-free formulations
Preservatives in eye care formulations, such as Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC), can lead to side effects with chronic use. The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser (OSD) is a leading preservative-free multidose eye dropper worldwide to address this challenge.
The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser’s utilizes a purely mechanical Tip-Seal technology that has been developed for use without preservatives and additives such as silver ions or surface coating.
Tested for microbiological integrity with challenging growth media
Aptar Pharma’s patented Tip-Seal technology has been tested by microbial challenge procedures simulating relevant in-use scenarios (properties of customer formulations require additional testing). We provide a set of data and test methods for the Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser which is designed to support pharmaceutical customers in preparing their finished product dossier.
Most accepted technology platform worldwide
The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser is the leading preservative-free multidose technology (PFMD) for both consumer product and prescription eye-care medications, with over 500 market references worldwide and counting.

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.

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.
