The DoseGuard bottle adapter from Comar
Comar, an original member of the safe dosing initiative PROTECT, is launching a new version of its DoseGuard for easier integration into drug packaging. The company will be showcasing the new design at Booth #2871 during EastPack June 14-16, and Comar’s Russ Granato will be speaking in a panel discussion on PROTECT June 16.
DoseGuard is a bottle adapter featuring a valve (shown above) that remains closed until the tip of an oral syringe is inserted. When the syringe is removed, the valve closes to resecure the liquid medicine.
The new low-profile design allows drug manufacturers to use a standard bottle and closure with no special modifications. “They can use what they already have,” reports LouAnn Evans, Director of Strategic Marketing at Comar. “The original design required a modified bottle neck and a modified syringe, and it only worked with select resins. The new product is compatible with a wider range of materials.”
