Refillable dispenser bottle
Description
A 500ml empty plastic bottle supplied with a pump dispenser, designed for decanting and dispensing liquids such as hand wash, sanitiser, lotions or disinfectant solutions in clinical, infection-control or general environments. The bottle is supplied unfilled and includes a dip-tube that can be cut to length so the pump sits correctly within the bottle, ensuring efficient product delivery and minimal waste.
Bnefits
- 500ml capacity suitable for frequent-use liquids such as hand sanitiser, soap or surface disinfectant.
- Supplied empty, allowing the user to fill with their preferred product and concentration.
- Pump dispenser enables controlled, hygienic dosing and reduces product wastage.
- Cut-to-size pump tube allows customisation to ensure optimal fit and complete product draw-up.
- Reusable and refillable, supporting cost-efficiency and waste reduction compared with single-use packaging.
- Clear or translucent plastic allows visual monitoring of remaining volume so bottles can be refilled in good time.
- Suitable for use in healthcare, clinics, workplaces, salons or domestic settings as part of infection control routines.
Indications
- Dispensing alcohol hand rub, hand wash, sanitiser or soap at point of use.
- Holding ready-to-use disinfectant or detergent solutions for surface cleaning.
- Storing and dosing lotions or gels in clinical, salon or domestic settings.
- Use in infection control stations, treatment rooms, reception desks or washrooms.
- Situations where a refillable pump dispenser is preferred over disposable packaging.
Composition
- Empty plastic bottle with approximately 500ml capacity (commonly HDPE or PET type plastic).
- Screw-on pump head with dip-tube extending to the base of the bottle (tube can be cut to size).
Formulation
- Non-sterile, reusable plastic container with mechanical pump mechanism.
- No chemical formulation supplied; bottle is provided empty for user-filled liquids.
Packaging
- Single 500ml empty plastic bottle supplied with matching pump dispenser.
- Bottle and pump typically supplied loose or in a simple protective outer (e.g. bag or box) suitable for storage in stockrooms.
- Clear labelling on trade packaging indicating capacity and pump inclusion; sold as a clearance item in the Infection Control category.
Usage
- Before first use, ensure the bottle and pump are visibly clean and, if required by local protocol, disinfected or washed and dried.
- Fill the bottle with the required liquid (e.g. hand sanitiser, soap, disinfectant) without exceeding the 500ml maximum capacity.
- Measure the dip-tube against the inside height of the bottle and cut the tube to length so it reaches near the bottom without bending or kinking.
- Attach and screw the pump firmly onto the bottle to create a secure seal.
- Prime the pump by pressing several times until liquid is dispensed smoothly.
- Label the bottle clearly with the contents, concentration, date of preparation and any hazard information according to local policy.
- Clean the external surfaces of the bottle and pump regularly as part of infection control procedures.
- When changing product type, empty and thoroughly clean/rinse the bottle and pump according to local infection control guidance before refilling.
- Dispose of bottles and pumps that become damaged, heavily stained, or difficult to decontaminate.
Contraindications
- Not suitable for storage of highly corrosive, oxidising or solvent-based chemicals that may degrade the plastic or pump components.
- Avoid use with sterile or parenteral solutions where a validated sterile, single-use container is required.
- Do not use if the bottle or pump is cracked, deformed, leaking or unable to be adequately cleaned.
- Not food-grade unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer; avoid using for consumable food or beverage storage in clinical settings.
Adverse Effects
- Potential leakage or spillage if the pump is not properly secured or if the bottle is damaged.
- Risk of microbial contamination of contents if cleaning and refilling protocols are not followed.
- Possible reduced pump function or blockage if used with highly viscous products beyond the pump’s design capability.
- Allergic or irritant reactions may occur from the dispensed product if users are sensitive to the liquid being stored (related to contents, not the empty bottle itself).
Storage Conditions
- Store empty bottles in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to prevent warping or degradation.
- When filled, keep bottles tightly closed when not in use and store according to the requirements of the filled product (e.g. flammability, temperature).
- Avoid storing heavy objects on top of the bottle to prevent deformation of the pump or container.
- Keep out of reach of small children when filled with potentially hazardous liquids.
Duration
Not a medicinal product; used as a reusable dispensing container for as long as the bottle and pump remain intact, cleanable and fit for purpose.
Onset
Not applicable; container provides immediate dispensing functionality once filled, assembled and primed.
