Safe Glass ampoule Opener (Purple)

Such a simple little thing but genuinely useful. This glass ampoule opener takes all the stress and mess out of breaking open ampoules safely. The grip is comfortable and the mechanism works smoothly every time. No more worrying about broken glass or nicked fingers. The purple colour is a nice touch and the quality feels solid for something so small. Compact enough to keep in a first aid kit or medicines drawer.

The key to success is to make sure that the white dot on the ampoule is facing towards the front (the open side, before you close it) in this ampoule snapper. It also helps if you get all of the contents into the bottom (main) half, which is nothing to do with the ampoule snapper but can be tricky. I bang the bottom of the ampoule down on a hard surface a few times, but there's a delicate balance between a tap that moves liquid down and a harder tap that makes it splash up again (don't worry about the ampoule, it's very difficult to smash). Ampoule snapper is MUCH easier than breaking the top by hand, and much faster

Seems a bit flimsy plastic. For such a simple device it wasn't that easy to use, ampoule not held securely at all. Took several attempts to break ampoule.

A nifty little item. Make sure you keep it in the standing position, place your ampoule (with the dot facing front) in the opener still in the standing position, don't forget to flick down any medication into the main part of the ampoule. Close it and just bend it away from you. If the ampoule is small it will have safely slipped down to the bottom (don't panic) keeping it still in the standing position gently open up top and bottom and gently pick it out, make sure you keep away from the' top' of the ampoule where it has been snapped open. You may find the closures are a bit stiff at first, just gently prize open, it will get easier.

It shattered the glass all over my hand it’s bad quality
