About this trial
Nurses frequently handle ampoule bottles in their daily work, and due to the fragile nature of these glass bottles, manual opening often leads to hand injuries. According to studies, a high proportion of occupational injuries among nurses are caused by handling ampoule bottles, especially hand lacerations. These injuries not only affect work efficiency but also increase medical risks. Therefore, to improve safety and reduce occupational injuries, this study aims to evaluate a patented ampoule peeling device, which has also won the National Innovation Award, to assess whether it can enhance the safety and satisfaction of nurses during their work.
