A sealed assembly for pill crushing and delivering and a method for using thereof are provided. The assembly includes: a connecting valve with different diameters, including a first end, a valve and a second end provided with a syringe-abutting interface, wherein, an opening diameter of the first end is larger than that of the second end; and a pill-crushing carrier including a sealed cavity having only one filling-in opening, the pill-crushing carrier has a first state when separated from the connecting valve and the filling-in opening is exposed for delivering pills into the carrier, and a second state when the filling-in opening is connected to the first end of the connecting valve, crushed and dissolved pill powders in the sealed cavity can be taken out through the connecting valve. The assembly can crush pills and dissolve powders in a sealed cavity, deliver powder-dissolved liquid and prevent powders from dispersing.

A pill-cutting box includes an upper shell, a lower shell pivotally connecting the upper shell, a cutter unit in the upper shell, an elastic holder set in the lower shell, and a sliding mechanism between the upper and lower shells. The elastic holder set, consisted of a bottom pad and two side pads, provides a pill-setting room protruded over the lower shell. The sliding mechanism includes a sliding plate to shield the cutter unit. In a cutting process, the upper shell is pivoted to match the lower shell, the sliding plate moves to expose the cutter unit, a pill held by the elastic holder set in the pill-cutting room is sent to meet the cutter unit. With elastic holding by the elastic holder set, the pill can keep its position during the cutting, and thus the pill-cutting result can be much acceptable.

A medicine grinder has a grinding assembly having a ring burr and a frustoconical burr being mutually rotatable relative to each other. The ring burr is tubular. The frustoconical burr is disposed within the ring burr and has multiple rough grinding edges, multiple recesses, and a non-grinding portion. The multiple rough grinding edges surround a center of the frustoconical burr. Each one of the grinding edges spirally extends about the center of the frustoconical burr. The multiple recesses are divided by the multiple rough grinding edges. One of the multiple recesses has a capacity being larger than a capacity of each one of the other recesses to define a non-grinding portion. Therefore, multiple receiving spaces are formed between the frustoconical burr and the ring burr.

A capsule shredding device is provided, which includes first and second housing sections. The first housing section has a chamber slightly larger than the capsule located in one end of the housing section so that when the capsule is seated in the chamber it cannot freely rotate in the chamber. A vial is releasably coupled to other end of the first housing section. One or more passageways extend from the bottom of the chamber toward the other end of the second housing section. The second housing section has an internal chamber with a spike extending into the chamber integrally formed on the interior upper section of the housing section. When the two housing sections are threaded together such that are drawn towards each other, the spike pierces the capsule, and upon further rotation the spike shreds the capsule thereby releasing the powder contained therein which flows through the one or more passageways into interior of the vial. Gaskets between the first and second housing sections and between the second housing section and the vial prevent powder or liquid in the vial escaping.

A sublingual type medication delivery device includes a container body having a predetermined volume of solvent with a spray dispenser attached at one end of the container and at the opposite end of the container is a housing which contains medication to be discharged into the container and mixed with the solvent to form a diluted medication for fractional delivery of the medication over a period of time. The housing can either be a tablet crusher for introducing medicament in solid form into the container or the housing can be a capsule having liquid medicament that is delivered through a needle that pierces the capsule wall.

A pill grinder and a method for using thereof are provided. The pill grinder includes: a base plate; a guiding assembly; a handle component including a pair of handle connecting rods, wherein, a first connecting rod is connected to a first end of each handle connecting rod, a roller shaft is connected between the handle connecting rods, axial directions of the roller shaft and the first connecting rod are both parallel to a first direction, the first connecting rod is kept pressed towards the base plate by an elastic returning component; and a grinding component, sleeved outside the roller shaft. When the handle component rotates around the first connecting rod, guided by the guiding assembly, the grinding component has a grinding stroke along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Therefore, pills can be better grinded with easier operation and less time, and safety in use is largely enhanced.

A pill, or like object, splitting apparatus includes a base having a bottom and continuous side walls defining an interior area. The side wall defines primary apertures. A cutting platform is situated in the interior area in a first horizontal plane defined by apertures, the cutting platform defining a bore extending horizontally between the primary apertures. Primary clamp members extends through respective primary apertures into the bore of the cutting platform. The clamp members engage with the pill to position and hold the pill/tablet stable during the cutting process. A plunger assembly having a compression plate and a blade is operatively coupled to the compression plate, the plunger selectively positioned in communication with the interior area via the open top of the base such that the blade severs the pill upon a downward pressure on the compression plate. The cutting portion is interchangeable with different configurations of blade/blades.

An medications dispensing cart for dispensing medications includes a cabinet that has a front, a back, a left side, a right side, a top and a bottom defining an internal space. A pair of left walls and a pair of right walls are positioned in the internal space. Drawers are positioned between and slidably coupled to each of the pairs of walls. Rollers are coupled to the bottom and a cooler is positioned in the top. A light, operationally coupled to a power module, is extendable from the interior space through a complimentary aperture in the top. Electronic locks, controlled by a keypad, are coupled to the drawers. A manual lock also is coupled to each of the drawers. A pill manipulator that is capable of cutting and crushing pills is positioned on the top.

The presently described technology provides a pill crushing system. The pill crushing system may comprise a tablet crusher, a bowl-like structure, and an elongated cylindrical weighted rod. The tablet crusher may have an open mouth, a lower end of the tablet crusher and a cap. The lower end of the tablet crusher may have a closed base provided with a peripheral thread along surface wall of the closed base. The cap may have a peripheral thread for engagement with the peripheral thread of the tablet crusher. The threaded arrangement for the tablet crusher and the cap are such as to bring the cap close to the closed base of the tablet crusher into engagement with the cap upon turning the cap in one direction, whereby a pill interposed therebetween may be crushed. The bowl-like structure may have smooth surfaces such that a residue after a pill is grounded in the bowl-like structure is less than 2 wt % of the pill. The elongated cylindrical weighted rod may have smooth surfaces at one end.

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.
