The Calpol Syringe
So simple, yet so effective is the design of the calpol syringe. Provided with every bottle of calpol is a plastic syringe, used to deliver the medicine to a child with ease.The successful design of this item is so vital to the product, as delivering this sticky medicine to a baby or toddler is no easy feat.
Comfortable Form
Its narrow and rounded barrel easily fit into the child's mouth without causing any discomfort, as there are no sharp edges or corners. It also fits perfectly into the opening of the bottle, ensuring a mess-free job when filling it up.
One-handed Delivery
The inner cylinder fits snugly within the barrel, creating a seal that prevents any of the medicine from spilling if it is placed down. This inner piece features a flange at the end, allowing for a stable grip. This is essential for maintaining control while dosing and even enables one-handed delivery (leaving the other hand free to keep the toddler from crawling away!). The flange also creates an angle on the otherwise cylindrical shape, preventing it from rolling off a surface or away from the user.
Choice of Material
The choice of a plastic material for the syringe meant that it could be washed and reused again and again. This reusability makes it environmentally friendly, and it can even be recycled!
Its transparent colour allows the user to easily see inside to the bold-coloured substance, making the measurement of the dosage a breeze.
