This is im- portant in healthcare, where current application systems such as cotton tips, flocked applicators, spatulas, nail polish brushes or fingers have drawbacks such as a lack of sterility, application and dosage precision, poor hygiene and fibre detachment. In contrast, our micro bristle appli- cators with their different shapes and more than 6 bristles per mm², ensure dot precision as the bristles do not spread. They can also reach targeted areas thanks to adjusted ri- gidity and resilience. Micro bristle applicators can be combined with various packaging systems ranging from dip-in packs to single sticks or even flow-through and blow-fill-seal systems. Together with Rommelag, we have developed a cost-efficient alternative to expensive and compli- cated dosing systems: the sin- gle-dose packaging is manufactured using the so-called blow-fill-seal technology and is combined with a micro bristle applicator.
