ampuls
Sealed glass vials
Ampuls is a variant spelling of ampoules, the small sealed glass containers used to hold a single dose of liquid medication, typically for injection.
The glass is designed to be snapped open at a scored neck, ensuring sterility until the moment of use.
The nurse opened several ampuls of morphine during her shift.
The spelling ampuls appears mainly in American medical and pharmaceutical contexts, while ampoule remains standard in British English.
