Glass ampoule opening tool - retains tip after notching and break-off

摘要

Glass ampoules in surgery medical and chemical laboratories are usually notched and the head is broken off manually. The risk of splinters can be eliminated if the ampoule is pushed into a tool called AMPUKAT. When a ball is pushed with the thumb from left to right, and the tool is turned through 30 deg., the head is notched and broken off. The severed head remains in the tool until emptied. The opened ampoule can also be left standing in the tool. ADVANTAGE - Saves time and ensures that no glass splinters can enter the ampoule.
