Vial delivers eye-opening ingenuity

Arthur Lifshey, a senior fellow engineer with Merck & Co., Whitehouse Station, NJ, is the inventive mind behind the patented Ocumeter® Plus, a high-density polyethylene vial for ophthalmic products.

The 2002 AmeriStar-winning vial packs these ingenious advantages:

• A one-size-fits-all flexibility. The format accepts volumes from 2.5 to 11.5 mL; the bottom plug is changed for volumes of 8 mL and larger. It replaced about 20 different vials and bottles.

• The HDPE vial is injection-molded rather than blow-molded.

• A hermetically sealed/welded bottom closure and tip eliminates leaks sometimes associated with sealing via torqued caps.
