In the medical field, ampoule bottles are generally used to store single-dose injectables.
[0003] Generally, a grinding wheel is used to open an ampoule bottle. The grinding wheel is gently scraped around the bottleneck of the ampoule bottle for several times to form an obvious scratch on the bottleneck. After the scratch is completed, place a towel under the hand, hold the small end of the ampoule bottle with the blue dot (if any) on the bottleneck facing outwards, and gently apply even force to break the upper glass of the ampoule bottle.
[0004] However, defective ampoules or incorrect operations may cause the nipple or even the bottle body to break when opening the ampoule, resulting in injuries to medical staff. Content of the Utility Model
