10610449 · 2020-04-07 · ·

The present invention is a plurality of flexibly connected pouches forming a container having a sliding track along the top edge. The pouches can hold pills, an amount of cannabis, gels, etc., that are sealed in the pouches. The track has two sections that removably attach to each other when pushed together. The track may have a notch located above a tear joint between each pouch. A unique slider has a plow that separates the two sections once the plow is pushed down into the slider. A wedge thereon separates the two sections of the track and thus opens the walls of the pouch. The slider when the plow is not pushed down can be moved along the track as desired. The pouches further can have a tear joint. Further, the pouches may be folded or rolled together and can be placed in a box for sale and storage.

MEDICATION COMMINUTION AND DELIVERY CUP

A single-use nesting cup for use with mechanical comminution devices having a spinning drive mechanism for pulverizing pills into powder is disclosed. Each cup has a textured base surface that provides for a more efficient grinding and crushing of pills inserted between two such cups when an upper cup is spinningly brought to bear down on a bottom cup. The textured surface of each cup base has a symmetric three-dimensional wave design with each wave arcing along a curve from an outer cylindrical wall of the cup spiraling in toward a center point of the base of each cup. The crest and troughs of each wave act as grinding edges while the overall symmetric wave design acts to maintain the one or more pills and it's powdered form in the center of the bottom cup.

PILL CUTTER DEVICE
20200060935 · 2020-02-27 ·

A pill cutter device for simultaneously cutting one or more pills and a method of using the same. The pill cutter device includes a lower housing having a top wall and a pair of rails that extends longitudinally along the top wall and are movable laterally toward and away from each other. A pill holder is engaged on each rail and is slidable longitudinally therealong towards and away from a retaining wall. Each rail includes a resilient pad and pills placed on the top wall are moved by the rails and pill holder into alignment with the longitudinal axis of the device. The pills are captured and held immobile between the two resilient pads, the pill holders, and the retaining wall. An upper housing is movable toward the lower housing and downward movement thereof brings a longitudinally aligned cutter blade into contact with the pills to cut the same.

10548813 · 2020-02-04 · ·

A pill crushing device pulverizes pills and then transfers the pulverized pills out of the device with minimal transfer loss and spillage. The device includes a pill chamber and may include a storage portion. The pill chamber forms a threaded connection with the storage portion that enables detachment. The storage portion stores the pill and operates the crushing mechanism. The pill is pulverized in the pill chamber. The pill chamber is disposed beneath the storage portion. A first spoon retains the pill and carries the pulverized pill out of the chamber along a longitudinal opening of the pill chamber. An optional second spoon detachably attaches to the first spoon to carry supplemental compositions to the pulverized pill.

Grinding machine and a slight gyration module

A grinding machine includes a slight gyration module for driving a homogeneous container to undergo an X-axial motion and a Y-axial motion within 1-3 mm distance, a homogeneous-stick rotation module for rotating a homogeneous stick in the homogeneous container so as to generate an eccentric motion between the homogeneous stick and the homogeneous container, and a homogeneous-stick vertical movement module for vertically moving the homogeneous stick with respect to the homogeneous container. When the homogeneous stick is lowered into the homogeneous container by the homogeneous-stick vertical movement module, an eccentric motion with a 1-3 mm radius of gyration can be activated between the homogeneous container and the homogeneous stick so as to carry out the grinding in a tiny slim space between the homogeneous container and the homogeneous stick; such that the grinding efficiency of the grinding machine can be substantially enhanced.

EXTRACTION APPARATUS

Apparatuses for pulverizing a solid dosage form and for distributing, dissolving and/or suspending a solid dosage form in an extraction fluid, as well as related methods and processes for producing extracted solid dosage forms using such methods are disclosed.

A method for managing medication, comprising the steps of: providing a server having databases, including a drug-to-drug interaction database, a drug-to-allergy interaction database, and a database of user profiles; detecting a current time of a first user, the first user being associated with a first user's profile within the database of user profiles, wherein the first user's profile comprises a medication list; providing a medication dispenser adapted to store and dispense medication associated with a first medication prescription of the medication list, the first medication prescription having a set of instructions for consumption by the first user; adding the first medication prescription to the first user's profile; implementing a reminder schedule according to the set of instructions and the current time detected; sending consumption reminder notifications to the first user according to the reminder schedule; and tracking adherence by the first user to the set of instructions.

Pill splitter
11938095 · 2024-03-26 · ·

A pill can be positioned on a first housing of a pill splitter. A second housing of the splitter can be pushed downward onto the first housing. A second blade can be secured to the second housing, and the pushing of the second housing downward toward the closed position can split the pill by bringing the second blade toward a first blade with cutting edges of both blades cutting into the pill. Also, the second housing can be configured to slide in a linear direction to split the pill and form a closed pill container space. The pill splitter can include a platform that is configured to move to hide or expose one of the blades. The first housing may include a spring device integrally formed with a foundation and/or the platform, with the spring device biasing the platform relative to the foundation toward the hiding position.

Pill cutter and pill cutting assembly
11918545 · 2024-03-05 ·

A pill cutter attachable to a pill bottle for splitting a pill to form a split pill that includes a pill cutter body extending between first and second body ends. The first body end presents a first surface for holding a pill. A lid is coupled to the first body end, is moveable between open and closed positions, and presents a second surface facing the first surface when in the closed position. A cutting instrument is coupled to the second surface of the lid and is configured to split the pill to form a split pill when the lid is moved from the open position toward the closed position. A cutter connector extends away from the second body end of the pill cutter body. The cutter connector is configured to attach rotatably to a pill bottle to collectively define a holding chamber for holding the split pill.
