Best-in-Class Preservative-Free Nasal Drug Delivery

Superior spray pump supporting for nasal drug application

Aptar Pharma’s CPS spray pump has been optimized for nasal drug applications. Whenever a medication containing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is delivered through the nasal route, targeted and controlled application is key. Our CPS nasal spray is specifically designed to enable reliable, exact dosing and targeted medication delivery to the nasal mucosa. Preservative-free is becoming more important in nasal drug delivery formulations. Our CPS nasal spray provides the best-in-class solution for preservative-free drug formulations, with its proven microbiological integrity, making the need for additives obsolete. Sensitive formulations are protected from oxidation through the metal-free fluid path of CPS’s technology. Any clogging or crystallization on the tip is prevented by the reinforced tip sealing mechanism, making the CPS system a safer solution for nasal drug delivery.

Our versatile CPS Technology Platform is the first choice for non-preserved nasal drug delivery across a wide range of medical applications such as allergic rhinitis, pain, CNS as well as for intra‑nasal vaccination.

Dedicated regulatory support for nasal spray medications

Aptar Pharma has  a successful track record of over 150 approved NDAs, ANDAs and INDs in the U.S. in the past 5 years alone.

Our regulatory guidance and support at each stage of your product development  facilitates your way to market approval, worldwide.

We have accompanied product approval processes with major regulatory authorities globally and built up regional regulatory expertise. Our experts are familiar with the bundling registration in China and master the requirements of the new Medical Device Regulation in EMEA. Our combination product specialist team specifically supports approval processes of drug combination products according to FDA guidelines.

Based on your regulatory needs and requirements we can tailor make the solution and the support you need.
With over 75 years of experience in nasal spray pump technologies and regulatory expertise, Aptar Pharma is your trusted partner for your next product development.

First choice for preservative-free nasal medications

Preservatives in nasal formulations, such as Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC), can have a negative impact on the ciliated tissue in the nasal cavity. Our CPS is the leading preservative-free spray pump solution for nasal drug applications worldwide.

Our advanced filter membrane prevents the ingress of any microbiological contamination from venting air. This combined with Aptar Pharma’s purely mechanical Tip Seal technology eliminates the need for preservatives and additives, such as silver ions or surface coating.

Microbiological integrity of Aptar Pharma‘s preservative-free multi-dose solutions (PFMS) has been proven by microbial challenge tests, passing relevant worst-case simulations.

Comprehensive Services to accelerate and derisk your drug product development

From our customized drug delivery solutions to our analytical and laboratory testing services, and our elastomer centre providing longstanding know-how optimizing chemical purity for your product development, we offer comprehensive service packages that can ensure an optimized product development process for your specific formulation needs. Analytical laboratory tests and physics tests are provided to optimize our CPS for your specific drug formulation needs. Spray characteristics are optimized for individual formulations according to their specifications. In addition we offer full extractable and toxicology packages to support regulatory filing of your nasal drug formulation.

Our CPS can be specifically customized with the development of individual designs for nasal drug medication products. Multi-disciplinary project teams manage customized product developments in close partnership with you, offering individually designed solutions with the high quality you can expect from Aptar Pharma.

CPS Technology Platform Advantages

  • Targeted Delivery to Nasal Mucosa
  • Microbiologial Integrity
  • Ensures Stable Drug Formulation
  • Sterility Options

CPS provides stringent dose control and reliable product stability

Spray characteristics of our CPS ensure targeted and evenly spread drug delivery to nasal mucosa, providing the medication predominantly at non-inhalable droplet sizes. Excellent priming performance and reinforced Tip Seal mechanism ensure precise and stable dosing over time. Our CPS is highly resistant to evaporation and ensures stability of formulation.

Aptar Pharma‘s leading preservative free multidose technology provides proven microbiological integrity

Aptar Pharma’s patented Tip-Seal technology has been qualified by “microbial challenge tests” and has passed relevant worst-case simulation. Our comprehensive data package for the CPS is designed to support pharmaceutical customers in meeting regulatory demands.

Tip Seal closure and metal-free fluid path ensure stable formulations

The mechanical Tip Seal closure prevents any ingress of air or backflow of liquid after actuation of the pump. This avoids crystallization leading to clogging of the tip or contamination of the formulation through ingress of bacteria. The metal-free fluid path makes sure sensitive formulations don’t oxidate through iron-based metals.

Sterile product validated to ISO11137 upon request

To meet the sterility needs of pharma-products we offer either gamma-irradiated or sterile CPS products, including packaging approved for gamma-irradiation and storage stability. Our irradiation process is validated according to ISO11137.
