BERRY Global has launched a new easy-squeeze ophthalmic 10ml bottle that has been qualified for use with Aptar Pharma’s globally recognised Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser (OSD).

The new bottle is said to provide a ‘reliable and user-friendly’ complement to the OSD, which is a solution for preservative-free prescription and over-the-counter products – featuring microbiological integrity and supporting preservative-free solutions to treat a range of eye conditions such as conjunctivitis and glaucoma.

The bottle is produced in LDPE in two variants, 10ml hybrid and soft, the latter offering a reduced squeeze force for easier use. Berry explained this provides ‘maximum flexibility’ to ensure the bottle is suitable for different drug formulations. Meanwhile, the pocket-size design maximises user convenience and is optimised for flow control to support precise drop dispensing, the company added.

Xavier Le Grand, of Berry Global, said, “There is strong demand for preservative-free eye care formulations, and this has to be supported by effective and reliable packaging and dispensing solutions.”
