About Us
Our technology
At Elddir we have developed a patented low friction form of child resistant closure that breaks the convention of needing to force, push or squeeze a bottle top to open the container. Our design uses a clever mechanism design and psychological techniques designed to make the bottle easy to open for adults, while keeping children out. Contact us to learn more.
MedTech SuperConnector
In 2020 we were successful in joining the fourth cohort of the MedTech Superconnector programme which allowed us funding and support to develop and protect our safer-cap design.
Our research
More than 10M individuals in the UK suffer from some form of arthritis, and for these individuals child resistant packaging can cause pain and distress. While 25,000 children under 5 are still admitted to hospital each year in the UK for accidental poisoning.
Our Safer-Cap product has passed a rudimental testing phase showing its ability to be easily opened by those suffering from a range of joint and muscle conditions, while keeping children within the age ranges at risk of accidental poisoning out.
Design through empathy
Using age simulation technologies we have been able to put ourselves in the place of a range of individuals by experiencing simulated conditions such as arthritis, age related loss of mobility, loss of vision and hearing, tremors, loss of motor skills resulting from stoke, and hemiparesis. At Elddir we place a persons right to independence at the forefront of our design process, and strive to create closures that provide access to medication and chemical products for those who need them in a manor that is safe and considerate.

Our next steps
We are now looking to take our product into the world exploring wider product ranges and testing to ensure a safer and happier experience for all medical and cleaning packaging users. If you are interested in our product and would like to become involved, feel free to contact us!
We are on F6S!
