An apparatus comprising a valve mechanism 26, the valve mechanism 26 comprising a first port 8 that can be connected to a syringe 11, a second port 10 that can be connected to a hypodermic needle 21, and a third port. The apparatus further comprises a housing 5 that is configured to receive an ampoule 1, and which housing 5 comprises an interior space in fluid communication with the third port of the valve mechanism 26, and a mechanism for breaking open the ampoule. The housing 5 may have deformable and rigid parts, such that the rigid part holds the ends of the ampoule 1 firmly, while deformation of the deformable part causes the neck of the ampoule 1 to break, releasing the contents. |
