A pill crusher or splitter is a portable tool used to modify solid medication tablets for patients who have difficulty swallowing whole pills. These devices allow users to break tablets into smaller pieces or grind them into a powder to facilitate easier administration.
These reusable manual devices are designed for personal convenience and are typically compact enough to be carried in a pocket or bag. They function through simple mechanical assembly, where the user operates the components to apply pressure or a cutting edge to the tablet.
