Aptar Pharma's Ophthalmic Dispenser Chosen for Eyecare Product
Aptar Pharma recently announced its innovative and patented preservative-free multidose Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser (OSD) has found its first application for the treatment of dry eye with the launch of VISMED MULTI. Aptar Pharma has worked closely with the Swiss-German-based Eye Care specialist TRB Chemedica for improving patient safety, achieving dosing accuracy, and maintaining product stability on the ophthalmic spray device.
Dry eye patients instill regularly lubricant eye drops, and often for the rest of their life. Most of these patients are elderly and experience difficulties when using preservative-free multidose dispensers because dispensing systems currently available do not offer overall satisfaction for eye drop delivery. In particular, the fact that preservatives can be omitted with Aptar Pharma’s OSD system, is well appreciated by the high number of patients experiencing eye irritation or allergic responses with preserved formulations.
Aptar Pharma’s OSD system is the result of more than 10 years of development for the delivery of preservative-free ophthalmic solutions. TRB Chemedica’s new VISMED MULTI, a patented, sterile, hypotonic lubricant eye drops formulation of 0.18% hyaluronic acid with essential ions calcium, magnesium potassium contains 10 ml of solution, equivalent to more than 250 drops and remains sterile for up to 3 months after first use.
For this solution, Aptar Pharma’s OSD system features intrinsic intuitiveness of a squeezable container, user friendliness for all adult age groups due to a low actuation force, precise and reproducible drop ejection, and ergonomic and pocket size design. With choosing the worldwide trend toward safe, patient-friendly, cost-effective, and preservative-free multidose dispensers, such as Aptar Pharma’s OSD system, VISMED MULTI is able to maintain its status as the gold standard in lubricant eye drops.
