The Airless+ Advantage for Skin Medication Dispensing
Aptar Pharma’s Airless+ dispensing systems were designed with product protection in mind. No air can enter the dispensing system throughout the life of the product, thus protecting even the most sensitive formulations. As the semi-solid skin treatment is dispensed from the metered pump system, the displaced product volume is not replaced with external air. Instead, the physical movement of a piston compensates for the evacuated formulation, leaving no unoccupied headspace. Airless+ dispensing systems protect their contents from air and light for enhanced product shelf life.
Airless+ Delivery Advantages For Skin Conditions
Offering clean, precise dispensing in a portable, easy to use format makes Airless+ dispensers ideal for patients with a range of skin conditions. Airless+ dispensers are also easy to integrate onto standard filling lines and can provide product differentiation opportunities for pharmaceutical companies.
Skin Medication Formulation Flexibility
Airless+ dispensing systems accurately dispense gels, creams, and lotions in a wide range of viscosities.
Airless+ Protection for Semi-Solid Formulations
Aptar Pharma’s Airless+ dispensing systems provide clean and hygienic product application with optional protective features designed to keep air away from valuable semi-solid skin formulations.
