Senior-friendly child-resistant closures primarily focus on easy dispensing, application, and grip. Dispensing and application closures include, but are not limited to, dropper caps, brush caps, and euro droppers. Child-resistant senior-friendly packaging should be ergonomically designed for seniors with common ailments like arthritis or other joint pain. Easy grip closure options like continuous thread and large grip caps make it easier for individuals with crippled or arthritic hands to open bottles. Most child-resistant bottles with senior-friendly push-turn closures have larger text and/or pictorial instructions on top for seniors with poor eyesight. Other options for senior-friendly child-resistant caps and closures include hold fitment and turn, align arrows and push up, and twist lock caps.
