I approached Qlicksmart about the Snapit ampoule opener as some of our nursing students had cut themselves opening glass ampoules during clinical placement. One student required sutures to a laceration. The Snapit is a very useful tool for nursing students, as it not only makes opening glass ampoules easier but also prevents them from injuring themselves in the process. Our second and third year nursing students have shown a keen interest in the tool with many purchasing a Snapit.

Testimonial from a paramedic who injured his right thumb when opening a glass ampoule.
Queensland, Australia. 2007

The injury (to the right thumb) did pose some difficulties for nearly a week, those difficulties include holding a pen (as stated), using a syringe to draw up medications, administering medications via a syringe and cannulation of a patient.
The Snapit ampoule openers have arrived and I must say I am impressed.
