The spoon also has a handle portion that extends between each bowl. The first and second bowl portions are sized and shaped to contain a 2.5 mL and a 5.0 mL dose, respectively, of a substance with a specific gravity in the range of about 1.1300-1.1700. A rib may be present on the bottom surface of the handle portion to provide both additional stiffening to the handle, as well as a de-nesting feature.

  • System for packaging and dispensing dry contact lenses
    Patent number: 6260695
    Abstract: This invention relates to the packaging or dispensing of hydrogel contact lenses in a dry state. By packaging hydrogel lenses dry, the risk of bacterial growth and package or product degradation commonly associated with hydrated lenses is reduced or eliminated, thereby significantly extending product shelf life. The application of a material or the placement of a divider between unhydrated lenses prevents the lenses from adhering to each other and allows manufacturers to package lenses in more space-efficient packaging. Such a packaging and dispensing system dramatically simplifies and reduces the cost of manufacturing, storing, packaging, inventorying, and distributing hydrogel contact lenses.
