Simpler safer pill slicing

Patients with swallowing difficulties could benefit from the new version of the exakt S Tablet Splitter.

According to 3M Medica, its maker, the extremely sharp blade cuts even the hardest pills more accurately than previously. The sliding tray guides and reinforced walls of the V pocket, which holds a pill in place, increase stability. In addition, positioning of the enclosed blade has been optimised to improve control.
For safety, the device has closed housing (in which cut pills also can be stored ready for use).
