Even if there are no skills to perform injections and injections on your own, you often have to open ampoules with medicines for a variety of needs. Injuries and cuts often occur, and in order to avoid them, you need to know how to open an ampoule with and without a dot.

In general, manufacturers place special nail files in most of the packages with glass bottles, with which it is customary to make several reciprocating movements in the narrowest part of the container, and then it remains only to break the top of the glass with a sharp but gentle movement and open the ampoule. Experienced doctors make it easy even without the use of paper or cloth to protect their hands.

How to open an ampoule with a dot?

If a glass vial has a dot in the widest part of the neck, of any color, then this means that it can be opened without a special device. The bezel applied by the manufacturer to the narrowest part of the neck will also confirm the guess. It is along this line that the ampoule should be broken. Cover the top with a handkerchief or paper, take the vial in one hand, and grab the top with the fingers of the other, trying to focus on the rim with the largest of them, and sharply open the bottle.

Those who are interested in how to open the ampoule without a break point are advised to use something sharp - a knife or a nail file. Having made several notches on the neck in the narrowest place, perform all the same actions that were described above. Now it is clear how you can open the ampoule without a nail file with a dot, and even if it is missing. But the vial of powder does not even need to be opened. It is enough to pick up the corner of the metal cover with something and pierce the rubber stopper with a needle. Of course, this is advisable to do in the case when you need to mix the contents of the ampoule with a liquid substance with a powder in another glass container.

To make an injection or extract a cosmetic product, you must first open the ampoule. And difficulties may arise already at this stage. To avoid them, learn the important rules of such a seemingly simple manipulation.

How to open ampoules correctly?

How to quickly and correctly open an ampoule with medicine? If the drug is imported, then most likely you will have a container with a dot or a mark in your hands, and such a sign is applied in the thinnest section of the glass. That is, it is in this place that you need to make a break. First, it is better to wipe the ampoule with alcohol, then wrap it with a paper towel or disc, and only then break off the upper narrow part in one sharp movement. Then you can use the content.

If there is no mark on the ampoule, but the kit includes a special file designed for opening, then you need to use it. In one hand (preferably in the left, if the right one is working), take the container, and with the other hand, control the nail file. Start sawing the glass with confident movements. As soon as you see a clear notch formed during the sawing process, you can open the container. To do this, also use a napkin or cotton pad.

If you are using a serum or other cosmetic product, then there may not be any notches or nail files in the kit. But you can quite do without marks and additional devices, using improvised ones. So, it is most convenient to use a nail file, but it should be metal and thin. If one is not available, then take a penknife or a small kitchen knife, but proceed with extreme care so as not to cut yourself. And before manipulation, any of the items must be disinfected!

How to store the opened ampoule?

How long can an open ampoule be kept? It all depends on its content. So, complex multicomponent medicines, as a rule, cannot be stored, so it is best to choose the appropriate volume and use it completely at one time, since it is unlikely that it will be possible to ensure tightness and sterility. And some substances are destroyed or change their properties and structure when interacting with oxygen. And if you use a non-sterile, expired or modified drug, you can not only negate its effectiveness, but also cause harm to health or even endanger life.

If you use a cosmetic product or use a drug for other purposes other than injectable, such as ingestion, adding to cosmetics, or making masks for the face and body, then storage is allowed, but it has several rules.

• First, close the container. To do this, the hole can be sealed with a plaster or tape, but you should not cover it with cotton wool, since the villi can get into the solution, which is undesirable.
• Secondly, it is best to remove the ampoule in the refrigerator, and warm it to room temperature before use.
• And thirdly, before storage, carefully read the instructions. In any case, do not use the drug after more than three days.

Tip: You can use a syringe for storage, as this container is airtight and sterile inside. Open the ampoule, draw its contents into a syringe and put it in the refrigerator. It is also better to stick a piece of paper with the date of opening the container so as not to exceed the expiration date.

1. Calculate your strength and do not squeeze the ampoule very hard so as not to accidentally crush it, otherwise the fragments will fall inside or cut your hands.
2. All manipulations are best done with rubber gloves that will protect you from cuts. And if you use disposable ones, they will ensure sterility and prevent the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms from your hands into the preparation.
3. Before opening the ampoule, shake it or gently tap the top several times with your finger so that the contents slide down.
4. The direction of the break is important. It is better to open the ampoule in the direction away from you, and not towards you.
5. It is best to open the ampoule, that is, to break off the upper part with your working hand, while the other should securely hold the container.
6. To avoid contamination due to accidental splashing of the product, as well as the spread of possible fragments, it is best to hold the ampoule over some kind of container, table or sink, depending on where you are performing the autopsy.
7. Before opening, carefully examine the ampoule from all sides to find out if there is a mark on its neck. The dot or strip may be small and inconspicuous, so it's best to be careful.
8. Hold the container securely so that its contents do not accidentally spill.

Now you can quickly open the ampoule in any conditions and save its contents.

How to open the ampoule correctly? How to open an ampoule?

Ampoules for injections have a specially applied marker: a colored dot on the top of the glass flask. It is not difficult to open such ampoules. It is only important to take the ampoule correctly in your hand: the marker should be facing you. Even without the use of protective equipment, the head of the ampoule easily breaks off with a sharp movement away from itself.

Some manufacturers are still working on old equipment and injectables are packaged in ampoules ancient samples that do not have a special marker and, so to speak, a neck on the body. Such an ampoule must be opened using a special cutting plate inserted into the package. With the help of this simple device, an inscription is made on the upper part of the ampoule and then everything is as in the first case: with a sharp movement away from you. The only caveat is that it is advisable to use a cotton pad or a piece of bandage here so as not to injure your hand during opening, because. if the file was made poorly, then glass fragments may form when breaking off.

That's all wisdom.

P.S. If the cutting plate is accidentally lost, then a simple abrasive stone, with which we usually sharpen kitchen knives, will help you open the ampoule.

The ampoule was with a point but stubborn, I made an injection from this ampoule, will the fragments get into the circulatory system and cause trouble?

I'll tell you how I do it personally by virtue of my profession. To do this, it is enough to have a small knife at hand - a nail file, which is usually put into a box with ampoule medicines. True, very often I see that this very nail file is not in the boxes, but I don’t understand why, because earlier in any box with medicinal ampoules there was always such a nail file either on a cardboard base or metal. Now neither one nor the other most often happens in them, and I began to save them so that I could use them again. I know for sure about this, since my mother is a medical worker.

And you need to open the ampoule, after preliminary sawing, after treating it with alcohol, and then it will easily break off. To do this, take a fleece and break the filed part, usually, it breaks off very easily for me, sometimes even without a fleece it breaks off easily.

Now releasing ampoules with a dot. Near the point there is already an inscription (or the glass in this place is much thinner than the glass of the ampoule itself), along which the ampoule nose will break. Therefore, the end of the ampoule is necessary break off sharply at the point.

If there is no dot on the ampoule, then the ampoule needs to be filed on one's own. For this, a special metal plate(scarifier). Instead of a plate, you can use knife, nail file, file, knife sharpener and even sandpaper.

When I opened an ampoule for the first time in my life, I managed to do it only in a barbaric way. The ampoule was ordinary, with a long thin nose. I couldn’t break it off in any way, then I just had to hit it with a knife, leaning the ampoule against the edge of the metal shell. True, the fragments still scattered outside the sink, but by some miracle, not a drop of medicine spilled!

Progress does not stand still. In the consumer society today, everything is aimed at making the product more convenient and easy to use. This also applies to the pharmaceutical industry. If a few years ago solid ampoules were produced, which had to be filed with a special nail file placed in the package, then over time everything changed. First, the nail files changed - they became more convenient and sharper, and today the ampoule does not need to be filed to open it. She's already drunk. on such ampoules there is a dot or a strip. To open it, just press on the top of the ampoule and that's it.

Look like this: if you bought a package of injection ampoules and there is a nail file in it, then you need to file the ampoules, and then take a cotton wool and break off the edge. If there is no nail file in the package with ampoules, then just take a cotton swab (so as not to injure yourself with a fragment) and break the top of the ampoule.

If there was no special nail file in the box with ampoules, then you can use a nail file, a small trihedral or diamond-shaped file. I have a lot of these and for my wife I gave one such miniature one with diamond chips for undivided use. Slightly file the neck of the ampoule and you can already take the cotton wool and break it off with a sharp movement. This is just in case, so as not to cut your fingers with broken glass.

I had to use a regular knife in the field. I just held the ampoule tightly and with a sharp blow of a hunting knife hit the neck of the ampoule from top to bottom. But the sharpness of the blow is definitely needed here.

Now there are no problems with this, almost all ampoules are marked with either a dot or a strip, you press it and there are no problems. And if a package without marking accidentally got in, then there must be a special plate inside.

I have the tip of the ampoule with (physical solution) crumbled.

Is it possible to draw a physio solution from such an ampoule?

What will be the consequences if you make an injection into the muscle of the physical. solution from such an ampoule?

Almost all modern ampoules come with a special rim (red or white), just press it lightly and the ampoule will open.

But, unfortunately, for some reason, the domestic pharmaceutical industry still produces old-style ampoules, and it is really difficult to open them. True, almost always a special nail file is placed in the box with ampoules - she needs to file the neck of the ampoule, cover it with a napkin and carefully break it off. If there is no nail file, or it is lost, one doctor advised me to do this: take a faience plate, turn it over and move the ampoule around the rim (on which it stands), the effect is the same as from the file.

First, it is recommended to knock on the top of the ampoule so that all the liquid passes through the neck of the ampoule. Then we place a napkin around the neck of the ampoule - it must be broken with a sharp movement away from you. The broken neck of the ampoule should be discarded immediately.

When buying, check that the package should contain a strip of metal with rough edges, a knife for ampoules. If not, ask from another package 🙂 Run the edge of the knife along the ampoule in the place where its nose is rounded and goes into the body, not necessarily with force - just to leave a mark. Then in one hand the case, in the other spout and break it off.

I opened it quickly and easily. To open the ampoule, I took a towel and carefully and slowly broke off the upper part towards me. Another option is that there are ampoules with an existing file, it will be even easier to open them in this way.

Just break off the excess part of the ampoule. Take a towel to avoid injury.

Quite often, a person finds himself in a situation where he needs to get an injection. When contacting a specialized medical institution with this manipulation, there are never any difficulties.

If you are one of the patients who do not want to visit medical institutions to receive the next dose of the drug, then you probably had a question about how to open the drug ampoule yourself. Also, some cosmetic preparations are available in glass vials, for example, hair ampoules, vitamin preparations for the skin. Many women already easily carry out a series of manipulations and quickly get to the contents of a glass container. There are several ways to properly open the ampoule. Following the instructions, you can easily perform this maneuver. Let's consider several methods in detail.

After that, you need to take a paper napkin or an unnecessary cloth and wrap it around the top of the glass. With a sharp but gentle movement away from you, break the glass and open the package.

The second way: the use of improvised means

Sometimes there are situations when the file for opening medicines is lost or was not originally available. What to do in this situation? How to open an injection ampoule without a file? In this case, you can use improvised means, for example, a knife, a nail file.

Similarly to the first method, take an ampoule and use the selected tool to make several notches on its neck in a narrow place. After that, open the preparation, after wrapping the glass with a napkin.

For injections, drugs are used in special ampoules that reliably protect the active substance from external influences. If its integrity is broken, we recommend not to use the drug and take an undamaged container.

In order to have access to the medicine, you must break the integrity of the ampoule. This must be done immediately before the injection, because if you do this earlier, the medication will lose its properties. After opening, the liquid is taken with a syringe and an injection is made.

How to open an ampoule with a break point

The procedure must be carried out as carefully as possible, otherwise you risk injuring yourself or accidentally pouring out the medicine. Each time you open the ampoule better and better, but before you start the procedure, use our tips.

Before the procedure, we advise you to protect your hands by wearing thin rubber gloves. Thanks to them, you can protect your palms and fingers from cuts and scratches. Surely you have seen more than once how doctors open an ampoule even without gloves, right? No wonder, because they have many years of experience.

You also need to prepare a place - it is better to do this while sitting, lay out a towel or cloth on the surface of the table.

First of all, carefully inspect the packaging in which the ampoules are located. Very often, the package already contains a convenient compact nail file for opening a glass container.

Use the option that suits you how to open the ampoule. For the right choice, try each of the described methods. Remember to be careful when working with glass.

If you often have to open ampoules, purchase a special silicone tool. It will help you open glass cones without injury and additional funds.

Before proceeding with the procedure, wipe the glass with cotton wool soaked in an alcohol solution. This is necessary in order to prevent microbes from entering the drug.

The disease sometimes creeps up unexpectedly. Oral administration of the drug is less effective than intravenous or intramuscular injections. After all, the speed of active substances in the blood is high. It is not always possible to go to the hospital to give an injection. In this case, it is important to know how to carry out the manipulation yourself. And the first stage is important - to open the ampoule correctly.

Follow a simple algorithm when opening the ampoule:

1. Read the instructions, pay attention to the expiration date of the drug.
2. Inspect the ampoule for integrity. Shake her, because it is important that the medicine sinks to the bottom.
3. Next, soak a cotton swab in alcohol and open the ampoule. Wrap the medicine container in a tissue to prevent cuts. Using light pressure, break off the narrow end of the ampoule.
4. Draw up the solution with a syringe and needle. It is advisable to change the injection needle.

The easiest way to open an ampoule with a notch. This place looks like a ring of a different color or shade. Clean the container with alcohol or any other antiseptic. Often such injections are completed with a nail file. Then cut the fracture with it. Attach a napkin, press on the notch and break the narrowed part of the ampoule.

The situation is a little more complicated with ampoules without a notch. When buying a medicine, it is impossible to predict whether a vial with or without a notch will come across. Moreover, they are not marked in any way. In this case:

• Take a nail file. And file it at the transition point of the wide part to the narrow one.
• Or use a knife to score the narrow end.
• If these tools are not at hand, try to break the upper part by pressing with your thumb. Be careful, this method is risky as the ampoule breaks easily.

Opening an ampoule with a dry powder inside has its own characteristics. Purchase a diluent with this medicine. However, it is worth consulting a specialist about his choice. This is how lidocaine, novocaine, etc. are prescribed. Often preparations in the annotation contain information about compatibility with solvents.

Open the ampoule like this:

1. Take a needle with a syringe, treat with an antiseptic and draw solvent with it.
2. First, open the cap of the dry powder ampoule. Wipe the rubber cap of the jar with an antiseptic. Poke it with a needle and inject the solvent inside the ampoule.
3. Shake the container well to get a homogenized solution.
4. Change the needle and dial it for subcutaneous injection.

When you give injections to yourself or loved ones, follow simple rules to secure manipulation:

• Insert the needle into the ampoule so that its section is completely immersed in the solution.
• Do not touch the bottom of the ampoule with the tip of the needle if you are not going to change it. Since it dulls it, which causes pain when injected under the skin.
• It is still desirable to change the needle after taking the medicine into the syringe. Opt for thinner needles for direct insertion under the skin.
• If there are air bubbles in the syringe, they should be disposed of so that there are no bumps and bruises. Tap the syringe with your fingernail, lightly press the plunger to release air.

Learning how to give injections on your own is convenient. After all, at any time you may need help. The skill of opening ampoules quickly develops.

1. Carefully inspect the ampoule, read the name of the medicine, its quantity and expiration date. 2. Shake the ampoule so that the medicine goes down, and file at the transition point from the narrow to the wide part (the nail file is in the medicine box). 3. With a special nail file for ampoules, file the “neck” of the ampoule well around the circumference. 4. With a cotton swab moistened with alcohol, wipe the ampoule and break off the tip away from you (better wrap the ampoule with a paper towel or cotton swab- so you protect yourself from accidental cuts). 5. Lower the needle with the syringe into the ampoule, pull the plunger towards you and draw up the medicine.

Please note that when taking medicine from an ampoule or vial, when the needle comes into contact with the walls of the vessel (and / or its bottom), the tip of the needle may "wrap", and thus the needle becomes blunt.
For this reason, in medicine it is considered correct to use two needles for injection: one - to collect the drug, the second - to directly inject.
The second reason for the need for two needles is the rules of asepsis. With many manipulations with the needle, especially when it comes into contact with the cap of the vial, etc., the sterility of the needle is violated and thus the likelihood of complications after the injection increases.

The ingress of air into the body with an intramuscular injection is not terrible, but not desirable.

With intramuscular injection, the air remaining in the syringe can enter either the muscle / intercellular space or the vessel (capillary). An air bubble trapped in a capillary can block it, and this vessel will die. In a more severe case (and with a large volume of air), when air enters the muscle, a so-called "air infiltrate" (bump, seal) can form - with all the usual symptoms and consequences of an infiltrate. It's annoying, but not dangerous either.
In our opinion, it is still better to carry out injections according to the instructions, and "knock out" air bubbles from the syringe before introducing the drug into the body.

Sometimes it is necessary to inject at home. This may be an injection of vitamins, anti-anxiety drugs, or as prescribed by a doctor. It is not always possible to go to the clinic, where they know exactly how to open the ampoule and inject the drug. But how to protect yourself from mistakes and not harm by giving an injection at home?

How to open the ampoule correctly?

First of all, it is necessary to open the ampoule correctly. There are two types of ampoules according to the opening method:

• traditional, which require a notch on the neck;
• with a dot at the point where the glass cone was broken.

First you need to determine the type of ampoule. This is usually not written on the packaging. But a cursory glance at a glass flask is enough to understand whether it belongs to the traditional ones or not.

The dot can be black, red, or another color. If it is not on the neck, then to open it you need a special nail file, which is hidden under the top cover of the package. Such a nail file has the shape of a circle with a cut segment, the edges of which are coated with an abrasive material.

The ampoule opening sequence includes the following steps:

1) sawing is done with abrasive edges on one side of the neck;

2) without undue effort, it is carried out 3-4 times with a nail file along the selected side of the ampoule;

3) then it is necessary to moisten a cotton pad or ball in an antiseptic;

4) with one hand, the base of the cone with the medicine is held, and the thumb and forefinger of the second hand grasp the protrusion of the ampoule;

5) in order not to injure fingers, cotton wool is used;

6) a break is made by a sharp movement of the hand in the direction opposite to the one where there is a file.

This is the correct sequence for opening a medical ampoule. However, the nail file can be lost. Then a nail file from a cosmetic set or a piece of sandpaper will serve as a replacement for it. Be sure to wipe the place of the file with alcohol or another antiseptic to prevent the ingress of microorganisms into the preparation.

We open the ampoule with a dot

Some manufacturers make more progressive solutions - with a marker. In this case, the opening process is simplified and includes the following steps:

• the cone marker is directed towards itself;
• the ampoule opens with a slight movement of the hand away from you.

In this case, it is not necessary to use cotton wool, since the risk of injury is minimal.

Then the drug is drawn into the syringe, air is released and an injection is made into the muscle. The injection site is disinfected beforehand. The solution is injected smoothly, after which the needle is removed, and a cotton ball is applied in its place.
