Less spilling.

As of now, you have to poor peroxide out of those widemouth brown bottles whenever you use it on a wound. Or you have to pour it into the cap or onto some cotton. It's a pain. The bottles should have a cap with a narrow opening so you could apply the stuff accurately and still screw the cap off if you wanted to.

Poor peroxide. I think this is probably to prevent people of an irresponsible disposition using it for 'water' fights. In a similar vein as those who filled up their Super Soaker (tm) water pistols with bleach.

You could just put it in a sqeeze bottle yourself, but I think there is one that comes in a spray bottle. [see link]

By careful design of a double-skinned, catalysing bottle (potassium permanganate should do the trick), you could have a self-squeezing bottle.

Brilliant links, solves the whole issue.

I don't know about that. Liquid peroxide in a squeeze bottle could help to flush out the wound as well as applying it's well known anti-bacterial properties.

That's pretty much how I use the stuff in traditional pour bottle. But, I'm not a doctor or qualified to offer medical advice --- not valid medical advice, anyway.

I can see me using peroxide that is pre-packaged in the same sort of squirty bottle as contact lens cleaning and saline solutions.

This is simple and a very good idea.
