How to Remove the Metal Vial Cap from Olympia Products

1. Inspect the Vial

Before beginning, make sure the vial is labeled correctly and hasn’t been tampered with. Check the expiration date and storage instructions.

2. Locate the Perforated Ring

Find the circular, perforated ring at the center of the metal vial cap. This is the section you’ll remove.

3. Use a Fingernail to Loosen the Ring

Gently insert a fingernail underneath the edge of the perforated ring and begin lifting. Carefully peel it up and away from the vial.

4. Remove Only the Inner Foil

Be sure you’re only removing the inner foil ring, not the entire metal cap. The remaining metal ring should stay in place. Once the gray rubber stopper is fully visible, your vial is ready for use.

Tips for Safe Vial Preparation

• Wash your hands before handling any medication or vial.
• Do not use sharp tools to remove the cap, as this could damage the vial or cause injury.
• After removing the foil, clean the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab before inserting the needle.
