Ampoules are small glass vessels in which liquids for injections are hermetically sealed. A typical pharmaceutical ampoule has a narrow neck between a cylindrical body and a conical tip.
They are opened by snapping off the glass top at the neck. The scoring at the neck does not always break where it is intended. This is due to the glass remelding to some degree at the score line. When the cap is snapped off, glass chips can fly off and a jagged or sharp edge can cut the hands of the healthcare worker.
Nurses who work in low-staffed and poorly organized hospitals are more likely to be hurted by needles, hands injuries and disease cross-infection on the job.

Safer products exist that remove the risk of broken glass cuts when breaking off the glass top.

Our product Ampoule Opener can effiently avoid percutaneous injuries and help to build a safer health care system for the healthcare workers, away from the risk for hands injuries and diseases cross-infection.
