Why do you need the MetriCap Closure?
Your three-year-old child has just got his first toothbrush. You glance over the toothpaste instructions just to make sure it's safe for kids.You read: "Young children should only use a pea sized amount of toothpaste"
Should you go and grab the bag of frozen peas from the deepfreeze to measure against the paste... or just estimate? Most of us opt for the latter option and hope for the best.
You are probably familiar with a variety of other usage instructions:
- "Only a small amount of anti-aging cream should be used to ensure that you will always look ten years younger"
- "You should mix equal volumes of resin and hardener to ensure a proper bond when using Epoxy Adhesives"
- "Use only a Finger Tip Unit of Pharmaceutical cream to cure your skin ailment"
- "Use 2-3g of Gel 3 to 4 times per day"
MetriCap Closures put an end to the measuring guessing game
In almost all of the above, you are required to guess the correct quantity of product that should be used.
Up until now, there has been no simple solution to the exact dosing of semi-solid products. But the MetriCap Closure has put an end to the measuring guessing game.
The MetriCap Closure was designed to easily quantify all of the above "quantities" and in the process make your life a lot easier. In its most basic form, the MetriCap Closure screws onto conventional squeezable tubes as a direct replacement for the "cap".
The uniqueness of MetriCap Technology lies in the fact that only a pre-determined amount of semi-solid ointment, paste or gel will be delivered when the tube is squeezed.
How the MetriCap Closure works
The MetriCap Closure consists of three plastic parts, all of which can be manufactured in high volumes through injection moulding. The MetriCap metered-dose dispensing closure fits onto conventional squeezable tubes. The operation is extremely simple and works on a very elegant 'charge-rotate-dispense' principle.
Three easy steps
| Step One: | Align the revolving chamber with the tube outlet and squeeze the tube. |
| Step Two: | Rotate the chamber through 180 degrees. |
| Step Three: | Squeeze the tube. |
