The nasal pump showcases the fast-to-market capabilities of the company’s Bioequivalence Program.

Silgan Dispensing, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of highly engineered pumps and sprayers in the pharmaceutical markets introduces its ophthalmic dispensing solution, Iridya™, a next-generation, preservative-free multi-dose, eye dropper. Iridya™ improves on existing technology by combining advanced ergonomics and precise dispensing to ensure proper dosage.

An ageing population, high computer and mobile device use and increasing pollution and allergies are all contributing to a greater global demand for eyedrops. At the same time, the move towards preservative-free formulations is driving the development of novel ophthalmic devices. Thomas Grinnan, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Healthcare, and Ralf Hergenröther, Product Line Manager, Healthcare Solutions, both of Silgan Dispensing Systems, explain how extensive market research and consumer testing led to the development of an eyedropper that meets patients’ and physicians’ needs for an easy-to-use device, which offers precise dosing andanti-microbial integrity.
