Zusammenfassung:	An ampoule opener (1) has a cylindrical body portion (10) with a cavity (11) at an end thereof adapted to receive at least part of the head portion (53) of an ampoule (50). A retaining mechanism, such as an resiliently expandable O-ring (30), is provided at the entrance to the cavity (11) for retaining the head portion (53) at least partially within the cavity (11) after it has been inserted therein. The head portion (53) may be detached from the remainder of the ampoule (50) by holding the ampoule (50) in a first hand with the head portion uppermost, holding the cylindrical body portion (10) having the head portion (53) retained therein in the other hand with the thumb uppermost, and causing relative movement between the body portion (10) and the ampoule (50). The ampoule opener (1) includes a plunger (20) for ejecting the head portion (53) from the cavity after it has been detached.
