Especially the vetergesic ones, as I have known vets and nurses to open them with their bare hands (ouch!) and the vial shatters in their hand
If you dont have one of those special vial openers, ALWAYS used a piece of tissue, or similar to protect your hands, should the vial shatter. Better safe than sorry!
PS: Whilst you're here, take a moment to see our latest job opportunities for vet nurses.
an animalcare rep popped into to see us not long ago, and I remember seeing an ampule breaker on a buprecare ad, so I asked her about it! She diasappeared, then came back with one for us! yay! they are ace! I'm just scared a veterinary will wander off with it, as I think they are quite expensive...
