Berry Healthcare has enhanced the design for its Rispharm R2 multidose eye dropper, providing an improved patient experience in terms of safety and convenience.

The plastic packaging giant said its technical team has redesigned the tamper evident band to provide a secure ring retention feature, while at the same time improving the container closure integrity when in use by the patient.

It said this further reduces the risk of product leakage and also optimises the opening and closing torque to enhance convenience and ease of access for the end-user.

For patients, these improvements have been achieved without any major changes to the design of the bottle, enabling them to maintain the same drug administration technique.

Preeti Thukral, Berry Healthcare head of technology, said: “These enhancements have therefore been implemented with no alterations to the bottle in order to maintain consumer confidence. And for pharmaceutical companies, this ensures that no changes are required for their existing filling lines.”

The eye dropper is designed to offer enhanced convenience over single unit dose droppers, especially if the drug needs to be carried and administered away from the home, where a single bottle is easier and less bulky than boxes of single doses.

The mono-material construction, which can be specified in both PE (polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene), means the full system can be easily recycled, keeping its environmental impact low.

Rispharm R2 can also be produced with Advanced Recycling Material rHDPE and rPP.

Muriel Combeau, head of global strategic marketing, Berry Healthcare, added: “Rispharm R2 multidose eye dropper is a further example of Berry Healthcare’s ability to devise a unique, sustainable and convenient package solution for ophthalmic applications, taking into account the needs of both the customer and the patient.”
