Ampoule openers for a better grip
When you are in a hurry, gripping the top of a glass ampoule directly is not the most comfortable part of a shift. Ampoule openers for nurses help keep your fingers farther away from the breaking point and provide a defined grip area while opening.
This collection includes two healthcare-inspired designs, nurse and syringe, both with a built-in opening and a clip for attaching them to keys, a lanyard or a pocket organiser.
A small accessory that saves searching mid-shift
An ampoule opener takes up very little room and can stay attached to the gear you already carry. Its biggest advantage is simple: it is easy to locate when it is time to prepare medication.

How to use an ampoule opener
- Inspect the ampoule and follow your workplace procedure.
- Insert the top into the ampoule opener.
- Hold the base and open it in the direction indicated by the manufacturer.
The opener provides extra grip. It does not replace protective measures, inspection of the ampoule or medication-handling procedures.
