A probe may be inserted into a body cavity to perform diagnostic intervention(s), therapeutic intervention(s), or both. The probe may be inserted through a body aperture that is naturally occurring or man-made, intentionally or by accident. The body aperture may form a seal encircling the probe so that insufflation retention material may be effectively retained in the body cavity so that an operator can perform the intervention(s). However, there may be leakage of the insufflation material. The insufflation retention device is configured to form an effective seal contactingly adjacent the body aperture and to provide a passageway for the introduction of the probe into the body cavity, such that a diagnostic intervention or therapeutic intervention or both may be performed.

A flow control device for a compressible bottle may include a reservoir, the reservoir comprising an ophthalmic formulation disposed therein, the ophthalmic formulation comprising an ophthalmic agent and a preservative; a reservoir interface, disposed at a mouth of the reservoir, the reservoir interface comprising one or more apertures, the one or more apertures in the reservoir interface fluidically connecting an interior of the reservoir and an exterior of the reservoir; a nozzle, the nozzle comprising: an outlet and a nozzle cap, the nozzle cap comprising one or more apertures, the one or more apertures in the nozzle cap fluidically connecting the outlet and a reservoir-facing surface of the nozzle; and an axis of rotation, wherein rotation of the nozzle about the axis of rotation relative to the reservoir aligns the one or more apertures in the reservoir interface with the one or more apertures in the nozzle cap.
