Abstract

A novel Glass Ampoules with rubber or plastic seal (3) on side or bottom or upper surface wherein head of ampoule (1), neck of ampoule (2), base of ampoule (4), perpendicular side of base which is side of rubber/plastic is (5), angled side (6) to base which in front of rubber/ plastic when you fill solution from it in syringes the residual solution aggregate toward grove., Groove (7) in front of rubber, due to it syringe will be inserted perpendicularly and angle of wall (8) from neck toward groove. In the present invention rubber or plastic seal is provided in front of groove from where syringe can be inserted so, bacterial contamination of the contents of the glass ampule is reduced. In this system no need to cut the glass ampule and does not required any skill art to eject the drug from glass ampule.

Description

Field of the Invention

The present invention is relates to Novel Glass Ampoules, which is mainly used in packaging injection drugs or other sterile substances. Glass ampoules have been widely used for drugs. Anesthesiologists, along with nurses and nurse aides, represent a significant proportion of the group of professionals that routinely manipulate this material. The present invention is relates to medical equipment and more particularly refers to improvement in novel glass ampoules.

Background of the Invention Glass ampoules have been widely used in packaging injection drugs. An ampoule is a cylindrical glass container, having a sealed elongated neck which is broken off when the preparation within the ampoule is to be transferred to a syringe by means of a hypodermic needle inserted within the resulting opening. Glass has important characteristics that allow it to be widely used in fabrication of recipients for drugs and other sterile substances. This type of container is, of course, widely used for medical preparations because of the absolute protection against oxidation and deterioration thereby afforded to its contents under strictly sterile conditions free from contact with air. An ampoule will also insure accuracy of dosage and supply the physician with a very definite amount of the particular drug therein contained. However, the necessity of breaking oil the tip of the neck of the ampoule, in order to remove the liquid contents, is seriously objectionable on several grounds as it gives rise to difficulty and 25 occurrences which interfere with the work of the physician and which frequently present dangerous possibilities.

However, contamination of solutions with glass microparticles on breaking open glass ampoules, the presence of metals, percutaneous injury, and biological contamination justify the need of educational materials to orient the manipulation of ampoules. Glass microparticles generated in the snap-opening of ampoules, as well as metals that contaminate their contents can be aspirated and injected through several routes. Exogenous contaminations by glass and metals can reach several sites in the organism. They trigger organic reactions that may give rise to injuries. Opening ampoules can expose professionals to the risk of percutaneous injuries. These lesions increase the biological risk as they are the gateway for viruses and bacteria. Ampoules opening systems (VIBRAC and OPC) have been developed to reduce the incidence of such accidents. Alternative materials to glass may represent an interesting strategy to increase safety. The use of prefilled syringes may represent an evolution regarding safety. But the filter syringe increased costs significantly.

Ordinarily the ampoule is opened by producing an annular groove around the neck of the 30 ampoule by means of an ordinary triangular or knife edged file and then snapping off by hand the portion of the neck beyond the point weakened by the groove. The glass from which these ampoules are made varies materially in hardness, strength and thickness. Some amopules are so thin-walled as to make filing very dimcult. Frequently, the pressure exerted by the file against the neck of the ampoule will cause it to shatter into numerous small glass frag- 40 ments which may penetrate the fingers or fly into the operators eyes. Finger lacerations are frequent and are a serious menace to the surgeon, scientist or nurse who so often come in contact with serious types of infectious germs. 45 Frequently when the neck of the ampoule is shattered or when the edge of the file bites too deep, the contents of the ampoule comes in contact with the file. The file is never sterile; therefore, the contents of the ampoule may become contaminated with organisms which may prove a fatal issue. Used for filing all kinds of ampoules, containing all types of chemicals and drugs and this practice may result in the contamination of one preparation by another, giving occurrence to usually the same file is chemical reactions radically altering the properties of a drug.

To overcome such limitation the present invention device is used. Object of the Invention:

In the present invention rubber or plastic seal is provided in front of groove from where syringe can be inserted so, bacterial contamination of the contents of the glass ampule is reduced.

In the present invention system, rubber or plastic seal is providing so, there in no need to cut the glass ampule. In the present invention system rubber or plastic seal is provided to eject the drug from glass ampule.

The present invention system does not require skill art to eject the drug from glass ampule.

In the present invention system glass ampule is not require to brake.
