Dropper Eliminates Need for Isolation and Insertion

The MD-Dropper Cap from HealthStar is a new dropper bottle technology for blow-fill-seal (BFS) technology.

The MD-Dropper Cap from HealthStar is a new dropper bottle technology for blow-fill-seal (BFS) technology. The design produces metered-dose eye drops with standard BFS technology, without the added step of isolation/insertion technology. The containers are molded using standard BFS manufacturing machines and procedures. Cycle times are maintained at normal BFS output levels, typically around 12 seconds. The pre-assembled and sterilized containers are snapped onto the BFS containers post manufacturing in a cleanroom environment. The contents of the bottle are never in contact with the MD-Dropper Cap until activated by the patient.
