One in three healthcare workers has experienced a cut when opening a glass ampoule by hand. Regrettably, many users and clinical administrators have underestimated the likelihood of these injuries.
Cuts from glass ampoules can happen to anyone, including you, no matter how experienced you are in opening ampoules. Even a minor ampoule cut can restrict your clinical activities. More serious injuries such as tendon lacerations have been reported.
Repeated personal injuries whilst opening ampoules, led an Australian registered nurse to invent the award-winning Qlicksmart SnapIT ampoule opener.
