Main Description
Cincinnati Surgical brings more than eight decades of blade making experience, dating back to 1938. A snapped ampoule neck is a daily sharps and glass risk at the medication station. A dedicated opener turns that break into a controlled, repeatable motion. Production is certified to ISO 13485, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 standards. In-house sterilization and output above 1.5 million blades a day keep the range consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ampoule sizes do these openers fit?
The options cover the ampoule sizes stated on each label, including the large 5 to 25 ml form. Pick the opener sized for the ampoules your medication station stocks.
How does the opener help?
The opener scores and snaps the ampoule neck in one motion, which gives a cleaner break than snapping by hand. A controlled break also keeps fingers away from the glass edge.
What is included?
This listing covers the Snap-It ampoule opener options from Cincinnati Surgical Company, packed as 10/bx. Each option is a separate catalog number.
Are the openers reusable?
The Snap-It opener is a reusable tool kept at the medication station. Wipe it down between uses following facility protocol.
Does it work on plastic ampoules?
The opener is made for glass ampoules, which is what the sizing refers to. It is not intended for plastic ampoule necks.
