Gerresheimer has one eye on drop precision

With DropControl, Gerresheimer has developed a new type of dropper insert for modern drugs with low viscosity for ophthalmology, which prevents the drug from flowing in uncontrollably during use. 

Global EVP at Gerresheimer Plastic Packaging Niels Düring said: “Lots of people need eye drops regularly. It is therefore important that these vials function reliably and simply to the last drop. With DropControl, it is now even easier than before.” 

DropControl is designed to prevent uncontrolled drops from flowing out of the bottle during dosing. The outer part of the pipette has only been changed slightly for this, while the inner part has been given an insert that is connected to the outer part. It is suitable for all bottles and closures of the Gerresheimer A, C, E and F dropper bottle systems.

DropControl is produced for the various dropper bottle types A, C, E and F by Gerresheimer under clean room conditions in sizes of 5, 10, 15 and 30ml. The bottle and the dropper are made of LDPE, the cap of HDPE.
