Embodiment Construction

[0015]The packaging insert of the present invention is intended for use in containers having an essentially rigid opening, such as a bottle, vial, tube, jar. For the purpose of discussion herein, “bottle” will be used generically to cover any of these containers.

[0016]As shown in FIGS. 1-7, the insert (10) is a self-contained unit. In an exemplary embodiment, the insert is a one-piece unit.

[0017]Referring to FIG. 4, the insert (10) has a chamber or cavity (12) that can be filled with an absorbent or adsorbent (14). For the purposes of discussion herein, the term adsorbent will be used, but it is intended that the term absorbent is covered there under Adsorbents (14) that may be used to fill the chamber (12) include, without limitation, moisture adsorbents, oxygen adsorbents, activated charcoal, molecular sieve, silica gel, clay or combinations thereof The adsorbent may irreversibly entrap water vapor or gases, or may be selected so as to maintain a specific gas or vapor concentratio...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a packaging insert that comprises a chamber that can be filled with an adsorbent. When the insert is positioned within a closed bottle, the adsorbent can entrap any moisture or gases generally targeted by the adsorbent selected. The insert is designed such that the container can be induction sealed with the insert positioned within the neck of the container.

Description

BACKGROUND [0001]The present invention relates to a packaging insert designed to entrap gases or other volatiles sealed into a bottle or similar container. In an alternative embodiment, the insert is designed to further restrict access of additional gases into the container, while still allowing the widely used and accepted induction seal.[0002]Many pharmaceutical and nutriceutical products are known to be moisture and / or oxygen sensitive. Thus, these products must be packaged so as to minimize the amount of moisture and / or oxygen packed with the product. This may be accomplished by packaging the products in an environmentally-controlled facility, but even under these conditions it is virtually impossible to eliminate all moisture or certain gases from the packaging facility.[0003]The prior art teaches desiccant-containing canisters or packets or similar containers inserted into the pharmaceutical bottle or package. Although this was an effective means for controlling the pharmaceut...
