Limited mobility and strength prevent an individual from accomplishing personal hygiene by his own. In all such cases, personal care devices prove to be a boon, as they assist the user with daily tasks and help him overcome his limited strength. Many of them even help caregivers to assist patients with daily living tasks at any personal care setting. These products are from various top-selling manufacturers like Earth Therapeutics, Desert Essence, Health Enterprises, North Coast Medical, etc.

Pill Crusher/Splitter

Pill crusher/splitter enables the user to crush pills or split them. Pill crushers are used to crush the pills into powder form so that they are easy to take with food or liquid.

Crushed pills can then be used whenever required. Pill splitters are used to easily and safely cut the pills so that it is easy to swallow them. Pills can be split ahead of time or at the time when they are required. Some personal aids are able to do both crushing and splitting while others either crush or split the pills. Most of the pill crushers or splitters are small and portable. They are made up of material that is dishwasher proof.
