UDS's primeless feature offers the patient unique, ready-to-use convenience that does not exist with traditional multi-dose spray pumps, which need to be primed prior to first use and sometimes re-primed when used infrequently. The device is easy to use with one-handed actuation. The UDS technology platform is gen- erally used and recommended for allergic rhinitis, pain, central nervous system and vaccine therapies.
