Mastitis is a common disease in dairy cows, often treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. Among the various dosage forms available, liquid formulations are widely used, typically administered through intramammary infusion to deliver the medication directly to the infection site. But how should this type of medication be packaged?

Pre-filled Syringes: A Dual-Purpose Solution

For intramammary infusion, professional administration tools are usually required. However, one packaging solution not only serves as a storage container but also acts as a delivery device—the pre-filled syringe.

A pre-filled syringe consists of a barrel, plunger, and protective cap. When the cap and plunger are in place, the syringe provides excellent sealing, ensuring a stable storage environment for the medication. Once the cap is removed, the soft LDPE nozzle allows for gentle intramammary administration, minimizing stress reactions in cows and enhancing treatment effectiveness.
