Product Description

equadose pill cutter pill splitter V1 metal alumininum

The twin blade, aluminum, all-in-one pill cutter.

Equadose is a revolutionary new pill cutter that solves many of the issues with traditional, plastic, single-blade tablet cutters; and it works with just about every size and shape tablet. The design utilizes two opposing blades that come in from the sides to effectively score the pill prior to cutting. No more unequal halves, dangerous powder, or wasted medication. The patented blades are angled in such a way that they are not sharp to the touch, yet they will never dull.

When not in use, Equadose acts as a pill box with two compartments for pill storage. As a pill case the swivel lid keeps medication safe in your pocket. We proudly assemble every one of our splitters right here in the USA, out of the finest aerospace grade aluminum, with no expense spared.

Patented 10,245,215 B2

Opposing Blades

The Equadose blades are angled so they will never dull, yet they are not sharp to the touch. The double blades create a split point that gives you perfect halves and quarters.

Comprehensive Design

Cuts any size or shape of pill. Splits scored as well as un-scored tablets. The trick is in the twin blades.

Quality Craftsmanship

Made of solid aircraft aluminum. Assembled in the USA.

Instructions

equadose centering step 1

equadose v1 step 2

equadose cutting step 3

Step 1

First open the pill splitter and place each pill up on its side. It is important that the tablet is placed on its smallest side to engage the most surface area with the blades. Center the pill between the blades.

Step 2

Close the blue lid or cover the splitter with you non-dominant hand. The double blades will still create an even split point, even when the tablet extends above the splitter.

Step 3

Use your dominant hand to push the metal blades together tightly, and split the pill in two.

pill cutter splitter quarters halves half centering double blades

Unequal Halves

Make sure each tablet is up on its smallest side between the blades for splitting. This will engage the most surfaces area, and give you the best cuts.

Large Pills

The double blades will create an even split point, even when the pill extends above the splitter. Simply place the large pill up on its side, use your hand to cover the cutter, and push the blades together.

Small Pills

If your pill is so tiny that it is difficult to handle, use a good pair of tweezers to center the pill between the blades.

Cutting Quarters

When cutting a circular pill into quarters, first cut the whole pill in half. Then place each half cut-side down on the splitter, center each piece, and cut quarters.

The most accurate splitter I’ve found
5 Stars
The most accurate splitter I’ve found
I handle all of my husband’s meds and have had to split pills for him off and on for the last two years since he had a major health event. It’s stressful because I love him and I want to handle all of his care well. It’s incredibly stressful to try to cut pills and have them break, or cut unevenly, or have them fly out of whatever cutter I have been using. This one is fantastic. It’s solid and sharp enough to cut accurately. It’s easy to adjust each pill so they are in a good position to cut. The covers and little double wells in the design don’t let you lose pills, and there’s almost no residue dust that splits off. Now that I’m used to how it works, I can cut a week of his pills in well under 5 minutes. This is a great product and I’m happy to give it 5 stars.
