Ampoules easyOPC Pharmaceutical glass ampoules for safe and easy opening
Protecting the end user: Efficient ampoule opening with breakforce optimization
Did you know that 89% of healthcare professionals struggle to open ampoules? For nurses, this means facing an average of 114 unbreakable ampoules every year, leading to frustration, potential injuries, and over €1 billion in costs for the pharmaceutical industry.
At SCHOTT Pharma, we are tackling this challenge head-on. By refining our converting process, we have optimized the ampoule breakforce range, eliminating the outliers that cause unbreakable ampoules. While this improvement may be invisible to the naked eye, its impact is undeniable, with fewer product returns, lower costs, and an improved experience for healthcare professionals.
With a tighter breakforce range (25-65 N depending on format), our Ampoules easyOPC not only protect nurses from injury but also ensure patient safety by minimizing the risk of glass splinters contaminating the medication. This small change produces big results, because when precision meets innovation, everyone benefits.
Exceptional ampoule opening performance guaranteed
Ampoules easyOPC feature a tighter and more consistent breakforce that leads to a reduction in unbreakable glass ampoules, lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) for pharmaceutical companies by decreasing reject rates.
With an AQL of 0.01 and 50 parts per million (ppm) in product lots, Ampoules easyOPC meet the highest standards for quality, ensuring an unmatched opening performance.
