PivotellPill Popper for Blister Packs: an aid for Arthritis, Parkinson's and Those with weak Hands to Remove Tablets Easily & Quickly from Blister Packs

Great device for hubby who has arthritic thumbs. Simple and easy to use, looks well made too.

I manage a GP practice and we use these to help make up blister packs for our patients who would otherwise struggle - either with opening their meds or with adhering to the schedule for taking them.So we are dealing with 28 days-worth, four times a day with many patients on 6-10 tablets at a time, for around 70 patients - the devices are in almost constant use by 3 staff members. Over 5,000 tablets a month.We don't use them on super-large tablets or on capsules - its too easy to break a capsule, and the foils tend to be thinner anyway so these are less bother to do manually.We find that they break at the narrow part of the moulding just above the trigger, and they last between 5 and 6 months with this level of workload. For home use I imagine they'd last several years.A quality product that I'm quite happy to re-purchase every 6 months as it's so effective and a real time (and finger) saver.

On the plus side, this pill popper makes the job of getting the tablets out of the packs super easy, and prevents my fingers from getting sore having to pop so many pills from their sleeves every day.However, this is now the 3rd popper I've purchased as the plastic has a tendency to crack and makes the mechanism useless as there isn't enough pressure to pop the pill.Whats frustrating, is that it usually goes just after I've been using them for a year, so clearly these have a shortish shelf life, and they aren't cheap to replace.That said, when you have to remove so many pills every day, it's still the best gadget to have, so here I am, on my third popper.

Brilliant. Did what I was hoping it would do. Arthritis has made popping elingated pills out of blister packs difficult and painful. Solved my prblem

Got this pill popper yesterday afternoon already buying a second one. My dad has been having trouble with doing his tablets due to weakness and that, we saw this thought worth a try he loves it. Strong enough to be used and less stress on your hands for the price we have paid was brilliant. All different sizes of tablets can be used for this is the best thing for tablets ever brought.

I bought this because of arthritic hands and fingers which were having difficulty with extracting tablets from very strong foil. It's a good thing for small tabs but when I try to extract the larger ones, it does tend to break them, especially the elongated pain killers which just snap in half. I try to get as many as possible out of the blisters and put them in a pot, which is more convenient for me, but approximately 10% of them are broken in half. I've put those in a different pot and obviously will take them in due course but I also take other larger tabs which should not be halved. I thought the 'gun' shaped popper would be much better than the ones where thumb and finger were used sp I'll persevere, but am disppointed.

Love this product so much it helps me loads. I have to take a lot of tablets and struggling to take them out of the packets this now makes it easy for me to remove them. It is made from quality materials and is easy to use

Game changer for me as I take absolutely loads of pills a day. I used to hate having to pop all those blister packs into my dosset box, but no more. I’ve tried many pill dispensers but this is the best one ever! No more broken nails, using the small end of a tea spoon, cursing when the small ones don’t come out or come out all broken. (and it’s always the foul tasting ones). Yes it seems a bit pricey but it’s well worth the money. Yes I still shudder at having to dose out the pills but doing it is a doddle compared to the dark old days.
