Medline Silent Knight Pill Crusher Pouches (Pack of 1000)

Good quality and value for money

Very good thank you

Good

These pull crusher bags are from the original manufacturer -- at a very, very good price! I purchased the Silent Knight pill crusher for my husband who is completely dependent on tube feeding. I crush pills for the entire week in 4 "batches" - morning, breakfast, lunch, dinner - and transfer the pulverized material to individual screw top jars with no content loss. I am able to use one bag for each weekly "batch" of the same type of pills. I was using a very fine stainless steel mortar and pestle prior to this to crush the pills, but the Silent Knight - though costly- really makes your life so much easier!! I will admit there is a bit of a learning curve to use the Silent Knight pill crusher most effectively. At first I pushed really hard on the handle, and scored the pill pouch with each pill (I crush about 5 at a time). After a few tries, I lightened up on my initial crush, and used more of a lighter touch on the grinding pushes as I moved the bag up. The contents were pulverized, and the bags did not score with the imprint of the initial pill push. Once you find the right touch for you, the pill pouches will last and perform well, and the contents pulverize with ease! The box contains 1000 bags which I figure will last me a very, very long time. This is an excellent buy.

Decent product.

My experience with these pouches has been problematic. I've found them to be often difficult to open to insert the Rx medication tabs. The pouches themselves also tend to 'stick' after initially crushing the medication in my 'Silent Night' hospital-grade pill crusher. This compression often creates an indentation in the pouch that ends up imprisoning some of the mashed medication which complicates emptying the pouch's contents. I had no trouble with the generic pouches provided by the hospital post-discharge. I will not be using these pouches beyond this pack of 100.

Big help with crushing & holding the pills.
