Description

Reusable Plastic Ampoules

This creation is about an ampoule, especially about a reusable plastic ampoule.

Ampoule (also known as ampoule, ampoule) is a container used to hold liquid medicine and/or serum. After filling the medicine and/or serum, the opening of the ampoule can be sealed by high-temperature melting to ensure the safety of the ampoule. The medicine and/or serum in it will not be oxidized and/or deteriorated due to exposure to air, thereby maintaining the biological activity of the medicine and/or serum. At present, the beauty industry also uses ampoules to package easily oxidized cosmetic materials to ensure the activity of the active ingredients of the cosmetic materials.

It is known that the material of the ampoule is glass, but there are doubts about its safety. For example, in order to ensure the biological safety of cosmetic materials, the cosmetic materials and the ampoules used to package the cosmetic materials need to be sterilized such as high-temperature treatment. However, the glass may break during the above-mentioned sterilization operation. Secondly, the method of opening the ampoule is to break the thinner part of the bottle body. If a sharp opening and/or glass debris are accidentally produced during the process, the user may not only be injured during the process of breaking the bottle body, but also take out the cosmetics. There is also the risk of scratching the skin from sharp openings and/or glass shards mixed into the cosmetic material when applying the material and/or cosmetic material.

Known ampoules also have problems such as waste. Since the known ampoule cannot be resealed after being broken, if the cosmetic material is not used up at one time, it will be wasteful because it is difficult to preserve. Secondly, the glass material is hard.
