Aptar Pharma’s Bag-On-Valve Technology Platform enables brand differentiation and a comprehensive product portfolio. Our highly versatile Bag-On-Valve actuator range covers a wide range of topical applications, from ear-nose-throat to dermal and other routes, plus veterinary applications, and allows for a range of application formats from soft spray to jet and gel dispensing and are feasible for a large array of viscosities. Our actuator range covers the specific needs of individual consumer types, from infant up through adult and seniors.
Our wide choice of color options supports a diverse, unique product portfolio.
Expanding the range via innovation
Our Pacifica and Anastasia actuator families are designed for broader applications in nasal and dermal care. They are distinguished by their clean, medical look and the smart design of integrated functionalities. Their convenient use is enhanced by comfortable actuation and handling of the actuators. A seamless, integrated tamper-evident seal provides reliable product safety. Manufacturers appreciate the simplified filling and production processes facilitated via smart actuator features like the integrated over cap and the unified format sets, which streamline the supply process.
Our Pacifica Soft is designed for more gentle application for delicate noses. The ergonomic nozzle is made with soft materials for improved actuator haptics.
Our Pacifica Duo, the twistable actuator, fulfills two needs with one product, providing flexibility to users: spray for gentle application, and jet for rinsing – all in one applicator.
Our PureHale® is a portable and ready-to-use drug delivery solution designed for upper respiratory care. When used in combination with saline water or other natural ingredient formulations, PureHale® helps relieve symptoms of upper airway conditions such as coughs, colds, allergies, respiratory problems, dry nose, throat and other irritations.
