Abstract: It is provided a nozzle (10) for applying a powder, particularly a pulverized hair treatment product, particularly preferred a cosmetic and/or dermatological product, comprising a cap (12) for being connected to a squeezable container for storing the powder, an outlet conduit (14) protruding from the cap (12) along an axial direction (16) for dispensing the powder through the cap (12). According to the invention a mesh (28) covering the outlet conduit (14) for retaining the powder and for pulverizing powder agglomerates is provided, wherein the mesh (28) comprises in a region covering the outlet conduit passages, and the outlet conduit (14) comprises an inner surface (22) for guiding the powder, wherein the inner surface (22) is inclined with respect to the axial direction (16) of the outlet conduit (14) by an angle ? of 0.0°<?<15.0°, particularly 1.0°<?<12.5°, preferably 1.5°<?<8.0°, further preferred 2.0°<?<7.0°, more preferred 2.5°<?<6.0° and most preferred ?=3.0°±0.2°.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for delivering antibiotic powder to a surgical wound that reduces the likelihood of contamination. A pre-packaged, sterile antibiotic powder delivery system comprises a container; a measured dosage of an antibiotic powder disposed within the container; and a sieve top attached to the top of the container, wherein the container and sieve top are sealed as a unit in a sterile packaging. To use the delivery system in the sterile surgery or operating room environment, the delivery system is removed from the sterile packaging. The delivery system is shaken over the surgical wound for a reasonable amount of time to cover the entire wound, avoid surgeon fatigue at the end of surgery, and avoid prolonging the total time the wound is open.

Abstract: A limited pour neck finish bottle wherein a plurality of radially inwardly extending flexible fingers are integral with the peripheral edge portion of the open end of the neck of a bottle and extend across the open end of the neck to restrict or interfere with the flow of liquid from the bottle if an attempt is made to pour the liquid from the bottle rather than employing an exact dose dispensing device. The bottle is made by molding a plurality of axially extending flexible fingers on the peripheral edge portion at the open end of the neck simultaneously with the molding of the bottle, and then bending the fingers downwardly to the radially inwardly extending position.
