If you are like me major customer of the pharmaceutical industry you should expect that the pills will be delivered already sorted according to intake date and daytime.
Because unfortunately this is not the case you have to prepare your daily dope yourself.
To elicit the pills out of the blister there are except from the well-tried “I squeeze hard with my thumb” technique the most different technical aids.
To what extent these pieces are useful is of course depending on the particular handicap of the user.
Here is a small selection:
With this a little futuristic appearing
double cone,
you are able to squeeze the pills out with one hand. But only very few fit into the collecting bowl.
This small
Taiwanese Pill Puncher
you should always use very gently. Sometimes you have to cut the blisters so that you can also squeeze out middle sized pills. But it is more robust than it looks like.
New on the market is this
German metal model.
Developed and built by a locksmithery. Not suitable for capsules, the spring steel sheet has to be bent back again and again. But the white bowl can be removed which might be quite useful.
On the American market I have found this
Pill Puncher.
My current winner. Simple and well-thought. The collecting bowl is the entire square lower part with which the pills can be emptied after squeezing them out like with a shovel.
I haven’t found a pill puncher yet which I can use reasonably with my buckled fingers. If you know or use other types please write a comment, or e-mail as usual to rollinator@eigude.de .
I need urgently new dope!

Hallo, ich habe immer wieder Probleme bei Tabletten raus drücken da ich mich an den Blisterverpackungen schneide. Wo kann man denn das Model aus den USA kaufen?
Viele Grüße Boo
Hab es bei Amazon gefunden.
