Customer Reviews of Pill Crusher -Pill PulverizerCustomer Review: Good, tried and true product
I am a nurse on a 29 bed general-surgical unit. Ive used several crushers and/or techniques including the heavy, bolt down, bench mount crushers at the hospital -- but I like these little crushers much better. The metal bench mount ones actually crush (as opposed to grind). This is problematic in that one still has to do more "crushing" (ie- grinding) after your meds have been through the crusher (the pieces are too big to fit through, say, a feeding tube). And I dont have to walk all the way back to the nurses station to access the crusher -- because this will fit in my pocket. I have tried several versions of this style of crusher with exception to a similar model that has small "teeth" in the "grinding chamber" (which I think would cause trouble in that you would have to clean/scrape/tap/pick/etc the teeth to get all your med particles out) -- I have found these to be the best -- they are quick and easy to clean. Although this crusher can handle several pills at once, I would suggest only crushing maybe 2 or 3 pills at a time (depending on size and type) -- you get a finer grind with less effort. The crusher is designed for easy, solid gripping for good torque while grinding (some of the small ones dont work well for this reason). The only bad thing I have found is durability -- they arent bad but they arent good -- but theyre cheap (and are what I would consider durable for the price). If you are using for multiple patients remember to clean out thoroughly between uses -- you do not want to cross contaminate (with meds) between patients.
