Containers having a fracture recess for opening the containers

The present invention generally relates to containers, and more specifically, the present invention relates to closed containers which have a fracture recess on an exterior surface for opening the containers. The closed containers may contain a substance, such as a medical fluid, which is dispensed and applied when the container is opened at the fracture recess. The present invention also relates to methods of making the containers and methods of using the containers. A closed plastic container has a plastic elongated sleeve which has a hollow interior. An exterior fracture recess extends from an exterior surface of the sleeve inward to form a reduced wall thickness for opening the container. The container is opened by squeezing or bending the container at the exterior fracture recess. The closed container may have an applicator material inside or outside of the container. A substance contained within the container is dispensed and applied when the container is opened at the fracture recess. An inner closed container having an exterior fracture recess can be contained within an outer closed container also having an exterior fracture recess.
