Abstract
A device for opening an ampoule () comprises a hollow cylindrical housing () having an interior for accommodating the ampoule () and a rotary element () having a proximal section (), to which a break-off section () extending in a distal direction is connected to. The break-off section () is flexible in a radial direction and is pivotably connected to the proximal section () in the radial direction. The rotary element () is rotatable relative to the housing () about the longitudinal axis. The housing () has a first guiding structure () for pressing the break-off section () inward during a rotation of the rotary element so that the break-off section () exerts a radial shear force on an ampoule head () of an ampoule () to break the ampoule head () off of the ampoule body ().
