00:00Some medications come in these glass ampoules and we need to break the ampoule to get the medicine
00:04out. But first we need to open a syringe and filter needle and attach them in sterile fashion.
00:10The filter needle will prevent any tiny pieces of glass from entering the syringe.
00:14Now here's a demonstration of how not to break a glass ampoule. To do it properly,
00:18first flick the tip to get all the medication down. Then hold it with the blue dot facing
00:23away from you and grasp the tip with a sterile swab. Snap the neck by bending the tip towards
00:28you. This way any glass particles will fly away from you and you're less likely to be injured.
