Ampoule for dispensing medication and method of use

An ampoule, for dispensing medicinal fluids into a structure, said ampoule comprising:

• a container for storing medicinal fluids;
• said container having an end with a fluid opening sealed by a projection which extends beyond said opening;
• said container having a first part of a standard connector fitting at said end, for mating with a second part of a standard connector fitting of the structure;
• and
• means for breaking off said projection to terminate its sealing of said opening;
• said projection breaking off means comprising a cap which tightly engages said projection and covers said terminal end;
• whereby,
• twisting of said cap breaks off said projection, and upon mating of the fitting parts, fluid can be dispensed from said ampoule into the structure.

An ampoule, for dispensing medicinal fluids into a structure, said ampoule comprising:

• a container for storing medicinal fluid;
• at least two said ampoules connected together, side by side, in fluid isolation from each other, by detachable lateral extensions of said container;
• said container having an end with a fluid opening sealed by a projection which extends beyond said opening;
• said container having a first part of a standard connector fitting at said end, for mating with a second part of a standard connector fitting of the structure;
• and
• means for breaking off said projection to terminate its sealing of said opening;
• whereby,
• upon mating of the fitting parts, fluid can be dispensed from said ampoule into the structure.

An ampoule, for dispensing medicinal fluids into a structure, said ampoule comprising:

• a container for storing medicinal fluid;
• said container having an end with a fluid opening sealed by a projection which extends beyond said opening and in which said projection is in the form of a post;
• said container having a first part of a standard connector fitting at said end, for mating with a second-part of a standard connector fitting of the structure;
• and
• means for breaking off said projections to terminate its sealing of said opening;
• whereby,
• bending of said post breaks off said projection and,
• upon mating of the fitting parts, fluid can be dispensed from said ampoule into the structure.

A method of dispensing medicinal fluid from an ampoule having flexible sides and a fluid opening, comprising the steps of:

• storing a volume of the fluid in said ampoule;
• sealing a fluid opening of said ampoule with a projection having one end integral with said opening and an opposite end extending outwardly away from said opening;
• securing to said ampoule, proximate to said opening, a first part of a standard connector fitting;
• breaking off said projection, at its said one end, from said ampoule for thereby;
• unsealing said fluid opening of said ampoule;
• mating a second part of a standard connector fitting to said first part;
• squeezing said flexible sides of said ampoule;
• thereby
• dispensing said fluid from said fluid opening and through said standard connector fitting.
