With its small dispensing opening, comparable to a tube and
without an environmental contamination surface, the UNGUATOR®
guarantees the minimization of negative quality interference
demanded by section 13, ApBetrO (Pharmacist Operating
Regulations); including those caused by germs on the fingers when
dispensing the ointment. Consequently, the user can remove the
prescription ointment from the UNGUATOR® Jar very hygienically.
The UNGUATOR® Jar is resistant to hot-water baths and
microwaves with temperatures below 85°C/185°F. Higher
temperatures may alter the tightness of the UNGUATOR®
Jar and the displaceability of the bottom (“push-up process might be negatively impacted).
The UNGUATOR® material becomes brittle at temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F. UNGUATOR®
Jars are available in the following sizes: 15/28 ml, 20/33 ml, 30/42 ml, 50/70 ml, 100/140
ml, 200/280 ml, 300/390 ml, 500/600 ml and 1000/1250 ml (rated volume/filling volume).
The standard color for the UNGUATOR® Jar housing is white and the UNGUATOR® Jar Lid is
red. The 300 ml, 500 ml and 1000 ml UNGUATOR® Jars come with white lids. In addition,
the 20 ml to 200 ml UNGUATOR® Jars are available in the pastel colors pink, light yellow,
light blue and turquoise. Furthermore, UNGUATOR® Jars from 20 to 200 ml are available
with special colors lids, green, blue and white. Upon special demand and defined quantity,
UNGUATOR® Jars from 20 to 200ml may also be ordered in customized colors.
All UNGUATOR® Jars come sealed in plastic packaging. Cleaning or disinfection prior usage
could put the certified asepsis at risk. We would recommend storing the UNGUATOR® Jars
in its plastic packaging after opening for protection against possible dust contamination.
The UNGUATOR® Jar sizes 300 to 1000 ml are particularly well suited as storage and
transfer vessels for semisolids and other preparations. Since the contents dispensed
using the movable jar bottom are always close to the lid, the UNGUATOR® Jar solves
the problem of the unsightly contents in traditional porcelain vessels used previously.
Evaporation, formation of crust, contamination and oxidation processes can thereby
be avoided to a great extent. Furthermore, the contents of the UNGUATOR® Jar can be
moved close to the lid after spatula dispensing using the UNGUATOR® Spindle or the
AirDynamic® Pumpball System.
The body of the UNGUATOR® Jar sizes 300 to 1000 ml can be cleaned in a dishwasher
as long as it has not left the pharmacy. Asepsis has to be ensured before reuse though.
The movable bottom of the UNGUATOR® Jar is not suitable for the dishwasher and the
sealing lip of the UNGUATOR® Jar Lid may be destroyed after repeated mixing. The
corresponding UNGUATOR® Jar Lids or jar bottoms can be ordered in sets of five and
used for the economical reuse of the body.
