Crushing medicines by hand many times a day is hard on the hands of carers and nurses, and it is slow. An electric crusher takes the force out of the task and gives a consistent result every time.
The unit crushes at the press of a control, so there is no twisting or pressing for the operator, and the powder comes out fine enough to mix into food or fluid for a client with swallowing difficulty. It sits on a bench or a medication trolley and is ready to go again between clients.
It suits residential aged care, disability accommodation and home care teams doing repeated medication rounds, and it is worth looking at where staff are reporting hand pain from manual crushing.
