Container closure system with integral antimicrobial additives

摘要

A container-closure system includes a sterile vessel configured to store a preservative-free therapeutic agent. A polymeric applicator is fluidly coupled to the vessel through which the therapeutic agent is dispensed. Surfaces of the applicator that are susceptible to contamination during dispensing of the therapeutic agent comprise one or more antimicrobial additives which provide antimicrobial efficacy at the applicator surfaces.
