Gerresheimer has developed DropAid, a daily-use application aid for small, difficult-to-open eye drop bottles. It helps dropper bottle users open the bottle, and when placed on the bottle neck, makes it easy to position the dropper correctly above the eye.
DropAid is suitable for senior patients and children. It has a circular aperture that fits onto the eye drop bottle top and helps to open it with little effort or pressure. If DropAid is placed vertically on the bottle neck with the crescent part clipped onto the open bottle, it can be rested firmly on the side of the eye so that the correct number of drops can be given.
DropAid fits System A dropper bottles for ophthalmic applications. Gerresheimer’s products for ophthalmic and nasal applications include LDPE, HDPE, PP, and other materials for bottles and droppers and CLC bottles. Gerresheimer also produces lens cases and bottles for nasal sprays with nebulizer or pump systems. Further materials, sizes, and designs are available, and the range includes child-safe and senior-friendly closures.
