Notes on dispensing ointment
FagronLab™ applicators
FagronLab™ applicator short
Each customer should be given specific instructions with an empty jar at how to use the jars. The use of the spindle
should be explained for large jar, size 300 and 500 ml. Low viscosity ointments should be equipped with an applicator or
a varionozzle to reduce the dispensed volume. Medium viscosity ointments can be easily extracted through the regular
opening of the jar. Very pasty ointments (e.g. pasta zinc) may not necessarily be pressed through the regular opening, even
by using a spindle.
In this case, the ointment can also be removed, similar to handling conventional jars with a regular lid, by removing the lid
and with the help of a spatula. If the jar lid has been removed, the ointment should be pushed up close to the lid after each
dispensing process. In larger jars by using the spindle or the AirDynamic.
The diameter of the dispensing nozzle allows simple dosing of the quantity of ointment to be applied using approximate
values. The regular dispensing nozzle in the screw lid of each FagronLab™ jar has a diameter of 8 mm. The varionozzles or
applicators reduce the diameter to 4, 2 or 1 mm. To ensure an exact dosage of highly active compounds, it is recommended to
use the ExactDose Adapter. It is possible to extract an exact amount of 0.5 ml.
The FagronLab™ applicators reduce the extracted quantity of low-viscosity formulations and are particularly helpful in cases
where the ointment must be precisely applied.
The FagronLab™ applicator short with a diameter of 1 mm is obligatory for nose
and ear ointments.
FagronLab™ varionozzles
The FagronLab™ varionozzles with inner diameters of 1, 2 or 4 mm can be pressed
into the regular nozzle of any FagronLab™ jar. They reduce the opening size,
making it possible to safely dose even low viscosity formulations. The viscosity
of the finished product normally specifies the diameter of the varionozzles. The
softly rounded surface allows ointment to be pleasantly spread directly onto skin.
