In the pharma industry, there is an increased interest in giving old products new, more convenient applications, as well as finding niches for totally new products using Bag-on-Valve (BoV) technology for packaging and administration. Applications now cover a wide variety of drug delivery products and disinfectant sprays, among others. There is a slow but growing consumer awareness regarding BoV products. Global volumes increase from year to year, replacing typical pump and dispensing sprays as well as traditional aerosols.
Bag on Valve, a Diverse Range of Pharmaceutical Applications
With its many dispensing possibilities, BoV is suitable for direct dispensing, even in such sensitive areas as eyes or ears or with children. After an eye accident, for instance, it is very important to rinse the eye in the first seconds. BoV portable eyewash spray makes a good choice when a piped eye wash station is not available. With a 240ml can, equipped with a spray actuator giving a very soft spray, it is now possible to flush the eye constantly for more than 15 minutes. But it doesn’t stop at eye washes, Bag on Valve can be used for a wide range of pharmaceutical and over the counter (OTC) products, including:
- Wound washing spray: must be kept totally sterile during its entire shelf-life, which is possible for many BoV products.
- Nasal sprays: usually based on sterile saline solutions, they soothe and relieve stuffy noses and sinus pressure.
- Throat sprays: with the aim of soothing and preventing sore throat symptoms during colds and allergies.
- Emollient sprays: Emollient sprays: a gentle spray of emollient that can be applied without actually touching the skin.
- Gels: can also be packaged using BoV, such as burn gel sprays for treating burns, scalds and sunburns.
Not only does BoV allow for a wide range of pharmaceutical and healthcare industry product offerings, but it’s distinctive packaging and easy to use process, makes it increasingly more appealing to the average consumer. From wound care spray products in a family emergency kit to a nasal spray, Bag on Valve can be the modern product packaging for the medicine cabinet.
