Abstract
The present disclosure relates to nozzles for removing a preservative from a fluid comprising a therapeutic agent to an eye. More particularly, the nozzles disclosed herein may minimize patient exposure to preservative by rapidly and selectively removing a preservative from a solution comprising a therapeutic agent. An example nozzle may comprise a flow diverter which directs a flow path from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet over a length longer than the distance from the inlet to the outlet. In some cases, the nozzle may comprise a preservative removing agent.
