The PFPT is the latest innovation in the company’s portfolio of preservative free pharmaceutical spray pumps (PFP), and is a combination of a chemical preservatives-free formulation, a pump system which filters or blocks the returning air, and an actuator which prevents bacterial ingress into the dispenser.
The 5-fold protection system includes a non-return valve next to the orifice bore, a second non-return valve in the metering chamber, a filter element for contamination-free ventilation of the container, a locked actuator and a sealed air path during storage.
This ensures germ-free pump dosing to the patient in volumes ranging from 0.05mL – 0.14mL.
MWV Healthcare Medical Plastics Division vice president and MD Chris Hall said the company is expanding the range of preservative free pumps to meet consumer demand for preservative-free formulations.
Based on the internationally recognized standard ISO 9001:2000, MWV’s German manufacturing facility in Hemer, where the PFP range of products are manufactured, has been awarded certification according to DIN ISO 15378:2007 for the development, manufacturing and distribution of spray systems for pharmaceutical products.
The new pump will be featured at the Pharmapack 2011 in Paris.
