  • Patent number: 9364393
    Abstract: A dosing system for analgesic liquid suspensions including unit dose containers made using blow-fill-seal (BFS) technology. The containers come in various sizes and hold appropriate doses for specific weight ranges. Each container has body with a compartment for holding the liquid, finger rests for squeezing the container to expel the liquid, a tab at one end for labeling, and a twist-off closure at the other end. In the larger containers, the opening end has a lip rest, which is a flattened section that includes opposed, curved depressions. In the smallest container, the opening end has a long tapered neck. The suspension has a relatively low viscosity to ensure more complete dose evacuation from the container. The containers will be sold in assemblages of various combinations of sizes.

  • Publication number: 20090230077
    Abstract: This invention container comprises a container shell comprising a body portion, adjoining cap portion and enclosed stopper, and an engineered separation site to facilitate separation of body and cap. The stopper has a raised nipple on the stopper, positioned such that a portion of the stopper is enclosed within the body portion and a portion of the stopper is enclosed within the cap portion. When the cap portion is removed from the body portion, a portion of the nipple therefore extends out of the body portion, allowing easy access to the stopper for cleaning or contents removal. In addition, there is an engineered separation site which includes a partial attenuation of the thickness of part of the container wall. Raised gussets are provided to enhance the cooperation between the instant invention and various needle-free connectors known in the art.
