Ampoules easyOPC Pharmaceutical glass ampoules for safe and easy ampoule opening
Request quoteA tighter breakforce range for the protection of the end user
A recent study has shown that 89% of health care professionals have difficulties in opening ampoules. If every nurse has challenges with 114 unbreakable medication ampoules per year, this could generate more than €1 billion in costs for the pharmaceutical industry.
By improving the converting process, SCHOTT Pharma has achieved an optimized breakforce range while removing outliers for its ampoules. This tiny but crucial difference cannot be seen with the naked eye, but results in the reduction of unbreakable ampoules, lowering return numbers and costs.
With a tighter breakforce range (from 25-65 N, depending on ampoule format) Ampoules easyOPC also protect nurses from injury at the point of use, as well as safeguarding patients thanks to a lower risk of glass splinters contaminating the medication during opening.
