Glass ampoules are often used in dental clinics and dental surgery facilities. Dentists, hygienists, and others often open ampoules using the “bare hands” approach or by using inferior ampoule openers that require the glass ampoules to be held in one hand. These traditional ampoule opening techniques present a high risk of sharps injuries and unnecessary exposure to the drugs within the container. Furthermore, the risk of accidents and harm create anxiety and undue stress on the dental staff. But it does not have to be this way.
