SteriDrop™ tube
for preservative-free eye drops
Protection against microbiological contamination
Preservatives in Eye Care formulations, such as Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC), can lead to side effects with chronic use. The SteriDrop™ tube combines the trusted barrier properties of Polyfoil® tubes with the Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser (OSD) from Aptar Pharma. Formulations without preservatives – SteriDrop™ tube makes it possible!
The packaging concept now proves highly conducive to protecting preservative-free eyedrops from microbiological contamination before, during and after initial consumer use. SteriDrop™ tube can contain volumes up to 30ml, which can easily cover a three months' supply of daily eye treatment.

- Advanced decoration possibilities
- Patient-friendly packaging with intuitive "squeeze" feature
