[0002] An ampoule is a heat-sealed, rigid glass container commonly used to store injectable medications, vaccines, serums, etc. It features a pre-pressed or cut weak ring around the neck and usually a colored ring marking the neck. To use it, healthcare professionals or users can hold the ampoule by the body and neck, then gently break it along the weak ring to easily remove the medication. This design is relatively simple and easy to master, and produces fewer glass shards, reducing the risk of contamination.

[0003] Currently, the main way to open ampoules is by medical staff manually breaking them open. This process produces a lot of glass shards, which can easily remain on the skin of the hands. When the hands are used to pick up objects, the remaining glass shards can easily cut the hands, failing to protect them.

[0004] Therefore, a cut-resistant and easy-to-open structure is designed to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects. Utility Model Content

[0007] (2) Technical solution

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cut-proof and split-open structure, including a silicone sleeve and a disinfection box. One end of the silicone sleeve is an open structure, and the other end of the silicone sleeve is fixedly connected to a flexible tube.

[0009] The inner wall of the disinfection box is fixedly connected to a partition. The front side of the partition is a liquid storage chamber, and the rear side of the partition is a drainage chamber. A press pump is installed on the left side wall of the disinfection box. The press pump extends into the liquid storage chamber and is fixedly connected to a guide tube.

[0010] A connecting tube is installed inside the drainage cavity, with both ends of the connecting tube passing through the disinfection box, and the opening of the press pump is connected to the connecting tube.

[0015] Furthermore, a one-way valve is installed on the inner wall of the connecting pipe near the right end.

[0016] Furthermore, the opening of the silicone sleeve converges towards the central axis of the hose.

[0017] (3) Beneficial effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This invention utilizes a silicone sleeve, a flexible tube, and an anti-slip sleeve. When opening the ampoule, the silicone sleeve is placed over the ampoule, and force is applied to the silicone sleeve. After the ampoule is opened, the silicone sleeve separates the ampoule from the medical staff's hands, so glass shards will not remain on the hands, and the glass shards can slide out through the smooth surface of the silicone sleeve for easy reuse next time.

[0020] This invention, through the design of a disinfection box, partition, press pump, and connecting pipe, allows for easy replacement of medications if spillage occurs after the ampoule is opened. The flexible tube can be connected to the connecting pipe via a connector, and the press pump can be used to inject disinfectant or saline solution into the silicone sleeve for rinsing, thus preventing the medications from mixing.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] This specific embodiment is a cut-resistant and split-open structure, and its structural diagram is shown below. Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a silicone sleeve 7 and a sterilization box 1. One end of the silicone sleeve 7 is open, and the other end is fixedly connected to a flexible tube 8. The opening of the silicone sleeve 7 converges towards the central axis of the flexible tube 8. This facilitates the collection of glass shards. After the ampoule is broken open, the glass shards can be poured into a trash can.

[0030] Specifically, the silicone sleeve 7 in this solution can be directly improved using a Murphy dropper. On the one hand, its internal space is slightly larger than that of the ampoule, making it easy to insert and use. On the other hand, the material is simple to obtain and low in cost. Waste infusion tubing can be directly improved and reused, achieving the purpose of waste recycling. Moreover, it is a transparent material, making it easy to observe whether there is any spillage of medicine or residual glass fragments inside.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the silicone sleeve 7 has an anti-slip sleeve 9 fitted on its side wall. The anti-slip sleeve 9 is made of elastic material and can be used directly on the silicone sleeve 7 to increase friction with the hands of medical staff, preventing slippage due to moisture, sweat, or other factors, and making it easier for medical staff to apply force.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the flexible tube 8 is equipped with an anti-slip cord 10. To prevent the silicone sleeve 7 from accidentally falling off and causing contamination, the anti-slip cord 10 can be put on or wrapped around the finger during use. Alternatively, the anti-slip cord 10 can be replaced with an elastic cord and put directly on the wrist for quick access during use.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] This embodiment is mainly used as an auxiliary tool for embodiment 1. When there is too much medicine or glass shards spilled inside the silicone sleeve 7, the disinfection box 1 and the press pump 4 in this embodiment can be used to disinfect and rinse the silicone sleeve 7.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a partition 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the disinfection box 1. The front side of the partition 2 is a liquid storage chamber, and the rear side of the partition 2 is a drainage chamber. A press pump 4 is installed on the left side wall of the disinfection box 1. The press pump 4 extends into the liquid storage chamber and is fixedly connected to a guide tube 3.

[0036] Specifically, the disinfection box 1 is also equipped with a sealing cap. When the disinfectant or saline solution in the storage chamber is about to be used up, the sealing cap can be removed for refilling.

[0037] A connecting tube 5 is installed inside the drainage cavity. Both ends of the connecting tube 5 pass through the disinfection box 1, and the opening of the press pump 4 is connected to the connecting tube 5.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, a bellows 6 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the press pump 4, and the other end of the bellows 6 is fixedly connected to the left end of the connecting pipe 5. The bellows 6 has good extensibility, and when the press pump 4 is pressed repeatedly, the bellows 6 undergoes expansion, contraction, stretching, and resetting changes, so as to facilitate the delivery of disinfectant or saline solution into the connecting pipe 5, and then into the silicone sleeve 7 through the hose 8 for rinsing and disinfection.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, connectors 11 are fixedly connected to the right end of the connecting pipe 5 and the left end of the flexible hose 8, respectively, and the connectors 11 on both sides are compatible with each other. Specifically, the connectors 11 on the connecting pipe 5 and the flexible hose 8 can be female and male connectors 11, which can achieve quick connection and increase the convenience of use.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, a one-way valve 12 is installed on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5 near the right end. By setting the one-way valve 12, the disinfectant water in the connecting pipe 5 can be intercepted and sealed. When used again, it is not necessary to press the pump 4 repeatedly to squeeze out the disinfectant water, thus saving disinfection time.

[0041] Working principle: When in use, put the silicone sleeve 7 on the ampoule, hold the silicone sleeve 7 and apply force to break the ampoule open. The resulting glass fragments will fall into the silicone sleeve 7 and will not remain on the hands of medical staff, thus protecting their hands.

[0042] If the medicine spills into the silicone sleeve 7 during use, one end of the hose 8 can be connected to the connecting pipe 5 through the connector 11, and the pump 4 can be pressed repeatedly to inject the disinfectant or saline solution in the storage chamber into the silicone sleeve 7 through the hose 8, so as to wash away the spilled medicine and glass shards and avoid cross-contamination of medicines when opening ampoules containing other medicines.

[0043] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0044] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
