DK 164270 BDK 164270 B

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår blærepakninger og navnlig en blærepakning til opbevaring og udtagning af hydrofile kontaktlinser, som opbevares i en vandig opløsning.The present invention relates to bladder packs and, in particular, to a bladder pack for storing and removing hydrophilic contact lenses stored in an aqueous solution.

Bløde hydrofile kontaktlinser fremstilles af hydrofile polymere 5 materialer såsom copolymere af hydroxyethyl methacrylat og kan indeholde fra 20 til 90 procent vand eller mere, afhængigt af polymersammensætningen. Sådanne linser skal opbevares i en steril vandig opløsning, almindeligvis en isotonisk saltholdig opløsning, for at undgå dehydrering og for at bevare linserne i en tilstand, hvor de er klar til brug.Soft hydrophilic contact lenses are made of hydrophilic polymeric materials such as copolymers of hydroxyethyl methacrylate and may contain from 20 to 90 percent water or more, depending on the polymer composition. Such lenses should be stored in a sterile aqueous solution, usually an isotonic saline solution, to avoid dehydration and to preserve the lenses in a ready-to-use condition.

10 Sædvanlig praksis for linseproducenter har været at benytte en tilproppet glasflaske som opbevarings- og forsendelsesbeholder for hver 3 enkelt linse. Standard-kontaktlinseflasken er ca. 10 cm i rumfang, er forseglet med en siliconeprop og forsynet med et overtræksdæksel af me- 3 talfolie som sikkerhedsforsegling. Hver flaske indeholder ca. 7 cm 15 saltholdig opløsning og en enkelt kontaktlinse, som identificeres ved flaskens etikette. Når linsen skal udtages for påsætning på en patient, skal brugeren først sønderrive og fjerne metalsikkerhedsseglet, dernæst fjerne proppen og endelig udtage linsen med en plasticpincet.10 Common practice for lens manufacturers has been to use a stuffed glass bottle as a storage and shipping container for every 3 single lenses. The standard contact lens bottle is approx. 10 cm in volume, is sealed with a silicone plug and fitted with a metal foil coating cover as a security seal. Each bottle contains approx. 7 cm 15 saline solution and a single contact lens identified by the bottle's label. When removing the lens for application to a patient, the user must first tear and remove the metal safety seal, then remove the stopper and finally remove the lens with a plastic tweezer.

Pakning af kontaktlinser i glasflasker er bekosteligt pga. udgif-20 ten til flasker, propper og forseglinger, og forsendelsen er kostbar pga. glassets og den saltholdige opløsnings vægt. Flasker kan endvidere gå i stykker, hvis de ved uheld tabes under håndteringen, og at fjerne linsen fra flasken med pincet er uhensigtsmæssigt efter som linsen er næsten usynlig, når den er nedsænket i en saltholdig opløsning.Packing contact lenses in glass bottles is expensive because of the cost of bottles, stoppers and seals, and shipping is expensive because of the weight of the glass and the saline solution. Bottles can also break if they are accidentally dropped during handling, and removing the lens from the bottle with tweezers is inappropriate as the lens is almost invisible when immersed in a saline solution.

25 Den foreliggende opfindelse har til formål at tilvejebringe en forbedret emballage til opbevaring, transport og udtagning af hydrofile kontaktlinser, som muliggør effektivisering af linsefremstillingsproces-sen, som er billig, og som tillader bekvem udtagning af kontaktlinsen.The present invention has for its object to provide an improved packaging for storing, transporting and removing hydrophilic contact lenses, which enable efficiency of the lens manufacturing process which is inexpensive and allows convenient removal of the contact lens.

Dette opnås ved at udforme pakningen som angivet i krav 1.This is achieved by designing the package as claimed in claim 1.

30 Hensigtsmæssige udførelsesformer heraf er angivet i underkravene.Suitable embodiments thereof are set forth in the subclaims.

Pakningen ifølge opfindelsen er en formet blærepakning eller boblepakning dækket af et bøjeligt plademateriale, som kan trækkes af pakningen for derved at åbne'adgang til linsen. Den formede nederste del, bund eller blæreparten af pakningen inkluderer et hulrum, som kan inde-35 holde kontaktlinsen og den saltholdige opløsning, og en flange, der udstrækker sig rundt om omkredsen af hulrummet, til hvilken lågmaterialet er forseglet. Hulrummet i pakningen er afgrænset af en bundflade og si-The gasket of the invention is a shaped bladder gasket or bubble gasket covered with a flexible sheet material which can be pulled off the gasket to thereby open access to the lens. The shaped bottom, bottom or bladder portion of the gasket includes a cavity which may contain the contact lens and saline solution, and a flange extending around the circumference of the cavity to which the lid material is sealed. The cavity in the gasket is defined by a bottom surface and

2 devægge, der strækker sig mellem bundfladen og den perifere flange. En del af -sidevæggen skråner væk fra bundfladen for at danne en rampe eller skråflade mellem bunden af hulrummet og flangen. Lågmaterialet er forseglet til flangen rundt om hulrummet ved midler, som muliggør let af-5 trækning eller afrivning af låget fra flangen. Flangen, der støder op til den skrå flade, og det overliggende lågmateriale strækker sig udover det forseglede område for at tilvejebringe uforseglede hjørner, som kan gribes for at lette aftagningen af låget.2 wall walls extending between the bottom surface and the peripheral flange. A portion of the side wall slopes away from the bottom surface to form a ramp or inclined surface between the bottom of the cavity and the flange. The lid material is sealed to the flange around the cavity by means which allow easy removal or tearing of the lid from the flange. The flange adjacent to the inclined surface and the overlay cover extend beyond the sealed area to provide unsealed corners which can be gripped to facilitate removal of the lid.

Pakningen ifølge opfindelsen er billig og let og kræver mindre 10 saltholdig opløsning til linseopbevaringen. Pakningen åbnes bekvemt ved at låget rives fra flangen til afdækning af hulrummet og linsen, der er indeholdt i et lavvandet bad af saltholdig opløsning. Linsen udtages bekvemt ved at skyde linsen op ad den skrå flade ved brug af enten en pincet eller en finger.The gasket of the invention is inexpensive and lightweight and requires less saline solution for lens storage. The seal is conveniently opened by tearing the lid from the flange to cover the cavity and lens contained in a shallow bath of saline solution. The lens is conveniently removed by sliding the lens up the inclined surface using either tweezers or a finger.

15 Den nederste del af pakningen kan sprøjtestøbes eller varmeformgi- ves i ethvert passende thermoplastisk plademateriale som f.eks. polypropylen. Lågmaterialet kan være et laminat af polypropylen-film og aluminiumsfolie, som kan varmeforsegles til flangen rundt om hulrummet i pakningen. Linseidentifikationen og andre etiketteinformationer kan trykkes 20 på lågmaterialet. Når pakningen en gang er åbnet og steriliteten tabt, kan pakningen ikke genlukkes.The lower portion of the package may be injection molded or heat molded in any suitable thermoplastic sheet material such as e.g. polypropylene. The cover material may be a polypropylene film and aluminum foil laminate which can be heat sealed to the flange around the cavity of the package. The lens identification and other label information can be printed on the cover material. Once the package is opened and the sterility is lost, the package cannot be resealed.

3 I fig. 1 illustreres en foretrukken udførelsesform af en pakning ifølge opfindelsen bestående af en nedre bunddel 11 og et lågelement 12.3 In FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of a gasket according to the invention consisting of a lower bottom part 11 and a cover element 12 is illustrated.

Den nedre del omfatter et hulrum, som generelt betegnes med 13, og som dannes af den skrå sidevæg 14 og opretstående sidevægge 15. Hulrummet er 5 omgivet af en udadragende flange 16. Låget 12 er forseglet til flangen 16 omkring hulrummets 13 åbning som markeret af forseglingslinien 17. Hulrummet 13 er dimensioneret til at rumme kontaktlinsen 19 og en mængde af saltholdig opløsning 20, som er tilstrækkelig til fuldstændigt at dække linsen.The lower portion comprises a cavity, generally designated 13, formed by the inclined side wall 14 and upright side walls 15. The cavity 5 is surrounded by an outwardly extending flange 16. The lid 12 is sealed to the flange 16 around the opening of the cavity 13 as indicated by the sealing line 17. The cavity 13 is sized to accommodate the contact lens 19 and an amount of saline solution 20 sufficient to completely cover the lens.

10 Som vist i fig. 1 strækker den del af flangen 16 og låget 12, der støder op til den skrå sidevæg 14, sig et stykke ud forbi det forseglede område 17. De uforseglede hjørner af flange og låg danner gribemidler, ved hjælp af hvilke låget let kan trækkes fra flangen for at få adgang til hulrummet 13 og den heri indeholdte linse. I fig. 2 er afbildet en 15 åbnet pakning med lågdelen stadig fastsiddende langs den bageste kant af flangen. Forseglingslinien mellem den skrå sidevæg 14 og de uforseglede hjørner af lag og flange er fortrinsvis vinkelformet som vist i fig. 1 og 2 for at lette åbningen af pakningen, idet vinkel konfigurationen muliggør påføring af en mere jævn afrivningskraft, hvilket sikrer, at pak-20 ningen kan åbnes, uden at indholdet spildes.10 As shown in FIG. 1, the portion of the flange 16 and the lid 12 adjacent to the inclined side wall 14 extends beyond the sealed region 17. The unsealed corners of the flange and lid form gripping means by which the lid can be easily pulled from the flange. to access the cavity 13 and the lens contained herein. In FIG. 2, an opened gasket is shown with the lid portion still stuck along the trailing edge of the flange. The sealing line between the inclined side wall 14 and the unsealed corners of layers and flanges is preferably angular as shown in FIG. 1 and 2 to facilitate the opening of the gasket, the angle configuration permitting the application of a more even tearing force, which ensures that the gasket can be opened without wasting the contents.

Fig. 3 er et sidebillede, som meget klart illustrerer hældningen af den skrå flade 14. Det foretrækkes, at fladen 14 danner en stump vinkel fra ca. 130 til 160 grader med hulrummets 13 bundflade og fortrinsvis fra ca. 140 til 150 grader. En hældning indenfor dette område tilla- 25 der en let udtagning af linsen fra hulrummet uden en urimelig forøgelse af hulrummets rumfang eller af udstrækningen af forseglingslinien, der forløber rundt om hulrummets omkreds. En typisk kontaktlinse har en diameter på omkring 13 til 15 mm og en dybde på fra omkring 3 til 4 mm. Et passende hulrum for en sådan linse er fra 6 til 10 mm dybt med en 20 * 30 20 mm bundflade og en åbning på omkring 20 ' 30 mm. Den ydre dimension af en sådan pakning er ca. 3 ‘ 6 cm.FIG. 3 is a side view which very clearly illustrates the inclination of the inclined surface 14. It is preferred that the surface 14 forms a blunt angle of from approx. 130 to 160 degrees with the bottom surface of the cavity 13 and preferably from ca. 140 to 150 degrees. A slope within this range allows for easy removal of the lens from the cavity without unreasonably increasing the volume of the cavity or the extension of the sealing line extending around the circumference of the cavity. A typical contact lens has a diameter of about 13 to 15 mm and a depth of about 3 to 4 mm. A suitable cavity for such a lens is from 6 to 10 mm deep with a 20 * 30 20 mm bottom surface and an aperture of about 20 '30 mm. The outer dimension of such a gasket is approx. 3 '6 cm.

Fig. 4 er et planbillede af pakningen på fig. 1 med låget 12 fjernet for tydeligere at illustrere hulrummets 13 udformning. Fig. 5 er et planbillede af en anden udførelsesform af en pakning, hvori et hulrum 23 35 omgivet af en flange 26 er afgrænset af en halvcirkel formet opretstående sidevæg 25, der går over i en skrå sidevæg 34. Fig. 6 illustrerer en yderligere udførelsesform af opfindelsen, hvori hulrummets 33 bundfladeFIG. 4 is a plan view of the gasket of FIG. 1 with the lid 12 removed to more clearly illustrate the configuration of the cavity 13. FIG. 5 is a plan view of another embodiment of a gasket in which a cavity 23 35 surrounded by a flange 26 is bounded by a semicircular upright sidewall 25 which extends into an inclined sidewall 34. FIG. 6 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention in which the bottom surface of the cavity 33

4 38 er konkav. Den konkave flade påvirker linsen, som er opbevaret i hulrummet,' til at hvile på bunden med kanten af linsen opad, hvilket letter lokaliseringen og opskydningen af linsen til pakningens flange 36. Den skå sidevægflade kan ligeledes efter ønske være plan eller konkav.4 38 is concave. The concave surface forces the lens stored in the cavity to rest on the bottom with the edge of the lens upward, which facilitates the location and projection of the lens to the gasket flange 36. The slanted sidewall surface may also be flat or concave as desired.

5 Den nederste del 12 af pakningen ifølge opfindelsen fremstilles fortrinsvis ved varmeformgivning af polypropylen folie-materiale med en tykkelse på omkring 0,8 mm. Polypropylen foretrækkes pga. dets gode var-meformgivnings-egenskaber, dets evne til at tåle varme-sterili sering ved ca. 120°C med en lille eller ingen krybning eller deformation samt dets 10 evne til at blive varmeforseglet til lågmaterialet.The lower portion 12 of the gasket of the invention is preferably made by heat molding polypropylene foil material having a thickness of about 0.8 mm. Polypropylene is preferred because of its good thermal shaping properties, its ability to withstand heat sterilization at approx. 120 ° C with little or no creep or deformation as well as its ability to be heat sealed to the cover material.

Som lågmateriale foretrækkes et klæbende laminat af aluminiumsfolie og polypropylenfilm, som kan varmeforsegles til den nederste del af pakningen, for at danne en lufttæt forsegling, som dog. nemt kan trækkes af pakningen, når den skal åbnes. Aluminiumsfolien foretrækkes overfla-15 debehandlet eller lakeret på den udvendige overflade for at tilvejebringe etiketteidentifikation samt en overflade, der er modtagelig for senere påskrift af linseparametre såsom diameter, styrke og bundkurve.As a cover material, an adhesive laminate of aluminum foil and polypropylene film, which can be heat-sealed to the lower portion of the package, is preferred to form an airtight seal, however. can easily be pulled off the pack when opened. The aluminum foil is preferred to be surface treated or lacquered on the outside surface to provide label identification as well as a surface susceptible to later inscription of lens parameters such as diameter, strength and bottom curve.

Pakninger ifølge opfindelsen kan fremstilles af andre materialer end de her beskrevne, selvom de beskrevne materialer giver gode resulta-20 ter. Pakninger konstrueret af materialer såsom polyethylen, der er mindre varmefaste end polypropylen og ikke er egnede til varmesterili sering, kan steriliseres ved bestråling eller med gas, evt. i forbindelse med aseptiske samlingsmetoder.Seals according to the invention can be made from materials other than those described here, although the materials described give good results. Gaskets constructed of materials such as polyethylene which are less heat resistant than polypropylene and not suitable for heat sterilization can be sterilized by irradiation or gas. in connection with aseptic assembly methods.

Ud over at kunne modstå steriliseringstemperaturer på ca. 120°C 25 skal de forseglede pakninger til hydrofile kontaktlinser være uigennemtrængelige for bakterier, for at bevare steriliteten, samt have en forsvindende lille væskedamp-transmission, for at forhindre tab af vand, og være i stand til at bevare linsen i dens oprindelige tilstand i den for produktet fastsatte lagringstid, sædvanligvis 2 til 4 år. Pakningens ma-30 terialer og pakkeprocedurer skal vælges i overensstemmelse hermed.In addition to being able to withstand sterilization temperatures of approx. 120 ° C 25, the sealed hydrophilic contact lens seals must be impermeable to bacteria to maintain sterility, and have a vanishingly small liquid vapor transmission to prevent water loss and be able to maintain the lens in its original state. the shelf life for the product, usually 2 to 4 years. The packing materials and packing procedures must be selected accordingly.

Mens pakningerne ifølge opfindelsen, som illustreret heri, generelt har været rektangulære i form med et rektangulært eller aflangt hulrum, vil det være klart, at mange andre størrelser og former kan anvendes inden for rammerne af opfindelsen. Pakningerne i opfindelsen er 35 karakteriseret ved et opbevaringshulrum med en skrå væg eller rampe strækkende sig fra bunden af hulrummet til en perifert fremtrædende flange og en aftagelig dækplade forseglet til flangen rundt om hulrum-While the packages of the invention, as illustrated herein, have generally been rectangular in shape with a rectangular or oblong cavity, it will be appreciated that many other sizes and shapes may be used within the scope of the invention. The seals of the invention are characterized by a storage cavity having an inclined wall or ramp extending from the bottom of the cavity to a peripherally prominent flange and a removable cover plate sealed to the flange around the cavity.
