A young New Zealander has created a tool to reduce healthcare worker injuries when opening glass ampoules. The Cap Snap is a multi-tool for safe opening of steel caps on glass vials and cracking open ampoules. It also helps separate each component for better waste management. Jack Pugh won the national James Dyson Award for the invention and has been shortlisted in the global top 20. Pugh told Mike Hosking the hope is to get it as mechanically simple as possible so it's cheaper and easier to make. He says if it takes out the top spot in the award, Dyson would inject money into the project in the hope it'll assist the commercialisation process.
