Ampoule cutting and breaking tool

Abstract

The invention relates to a tool for cutting and breaking an ampule. The tool comprises a body (1), grinding wheels (4), a screw (2), a rubber gasket (3) and a rubber cover plate (5), wherein a plurality of grinding wheels (4) with center holes are fixed in a groove of the body (1), and the inside cutting edges of the grinding wheels (4) are exposed in the position of an inner hole (a) of the body (1); the rubber gasket (3) and the rubber cover plate (5) are propped against upper planes and lower planes of the grinding wheels (4) respectively; one circular truncated cone-shaped breaking hole (b) used for breaking the ampule is formed between every two grinding wheels; the body (1) can be held by a hand and rotates by one third of a circumference, and then full circular arc cutting of the ampule at angle of 360 degrees is realized; and the ampule breaking holes are used for breaking the ampule, so that the ampule can be broken easily, and the condition that fingers of a nurse are scratched by broken glass pieces when the nurse breaks the ampule with hands is avoided. Two actions of scratching and breaking of the ampule can be continuously finished, the operation is simple, the use is safe, time and labor are saved, and the labor intensity of the nurse is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical device auxiliary tools, in particular to a tool for cutting and breaking ampoules. Background technique [0002] Intravenous infusion is an important part of clinical nursing work. Opening a large number of glass ampoules for dispensing medicine is the most frequently performed job for nurses every day. The usual way to open the ampoule is to disinfect the grinding wheel and the bottle neck of the ampoule, use the grinding wheel to carve marks on the neck of the ampoule, disinfect the notch, wipe off the glass shavings, and break it off forcefully. This method is time-consuming and laborious, and the workload of nurses is large; the grinding wheel is small and easy to lose; the arc length of each scratch of the grinding wheel is short, and the ampoule needs to be scored repeatedly, which is easy to cause finger fatigue; when the ampoule is broken by hand, the glass stubble hurts fingers and glass ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This method is time-consuming and laborious, and the workload of nurses is large; the grinding wheel is small and easy to lose; the arc length of each scratch of the grinding wheel is short, and the ampoule needs to be scored repeatedly, which is easy to cause finger fatigue; when the ampoule is broken by hand, the glass stubble hurts fingers and glass slag Splash eye injuries often occur. If nurses touch patients with wounded hands or perform other nursing operations, it will inevitably increase the possibility of contracting blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS.

Wrap the ampoule with sterile gauze or alcohol gauze before breaking it, which can avoid glass damage to fingers, but the gauze fiber is easy to accumulate glass particles. As the number of times the ampoule is broken increases, the accumulated glass particles will fall into the ampoule and cause liquid pollution. , if one gauze is used for one ampoule, the waste will be larger
