Abstract

A tool for use with a medication vial and a syringe comprises a housing having a top side, a bottom side, and a surrounding edge, a slotted aperture defined in the housing and including a flange shaped to engage vial cap, a cylindrical aperture defined in the housing and sized to permit placement of a forward portion of the syringe including a cap into the cylindrical aperture; an actuator button mounted to the housing, and a gripper, mounted within the housing and having a pair of opposed edges, with the gripper responsive to movement of the actuator button to permit movement of the ages between a retracted position in which the edges are disposed away from a central portion of the cylindrical aperture, and an extended position in which the edges are displaced toward the central portion of the cylindrical aperture.
