  • Publication number: 20060180613
    Abstract: A dispensing assembly to be coupled to a resilient-walled vessel includes a tip defining an unobstructed bore positioned to be in direct communication with the vessel when coupled to the vessel. The tip includes a valve structured to allow drop-wise liquid dispensing when sufficient pressure is applied to the resilient wall of the vessel, and to prevent liquid back flow at zero as well as near zero pressure differentials across the valve. The assembly also includes at least one vent opening structured to allow air into and out of the vessel, and at least one filtration element extending across the vent opening. A cap having an antibacterial liner is also provided. The combination of the filtration element, the antibacterial liner in the cap, and the ability of the valve to prevent back flow enables the solution in the vessel to remain sterile, with no need for preservatives.

  • Publication number: 20060149212
    Abstract: A liquid dispensing apparatus for dispensing a sterile liquid comprises a container for storing the sterile liquid, a dispenser engaged with the container for expressing the sterile liquid from the container and a substrate of a porous, three-dimensional matrix within the container, the substrate providing an anti-microbial coating. The coating provides at least 4 square centimeters of surface area for each cubic centimeter of the interior volume of the container.
