Clearly the World’s Favorite

Multidose preservative-free system makes preservatives obsolete

Preservatives in eye care formulations, such as Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC), can lead to side effects with chronic use. The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser (OSD) is the leading preservative-free multidose eye dropper worldwide to address this challenge.

The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser’s purely mechanical Tip-Seal technology eliminates the need for preservatives and additives such as silver ions or surface coating.

Proven microbiological integrity

Aptar Pharma’s patented Tip-Seal technology has been qualified by microbiological challenge tests and has passed relevant worst-case scenario simulations.

Aptar Pharma provides a comprehensive data package for the Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser which is designed to support pharmaceutical customers in meeting regulatory demands.

Most accepted technology platform worldwide

The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser is the leading preservative-free multidose (PFMD) technology for both consumer products and prescription eye care medications, with an outstanding track record of more than 500 market references worldwide and counting.

Tested and proven microbiological integrity

The Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser is designed to comply with regulatory requirements for eye care products.

Purely mechanical technology eliminates need for preservatives

The purely mechanical integrity approach of our patented Tip-Seal technology prevents backflow into the tip. A sterile filter membrane filters any incoming air when the system is ventilated. This technology eliminates the need for any additives to the formulation and packaging material.

OSD Technology Platform offers widest 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.

Convenient and intuitive handling for patients and consumers

The OSD provides easy handling and intuitive application while requiring low actuation force for the squeeze bottle. The compact product format makes the OSD convenient for on-the-go usage.

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.
