blister pen

Product Details


The Blister Pen is an innovative medication aid that makes it easier to remove tablets from blister packs. Designed for people with arthritis, weak grip or limited hand dexterity, it removes the need to press tablets through stubborn foil packaging, helping to reduce discomfort and frustration.

Shaped like a thick ballpoint pen, the Blister Pen features a retractable fine needle instead of an ink cartridge. Simply hold it like a pen, extend the needle and carefully cut around the edge of the tablet where the plastic and foil meet. Once the foil has been cut, the tablet can be removed easily without applying pressure to the blister pack.

Compact, lightweight and easy to carry, the Blister Pen is a practical everyday aid for managing medication at home or while travelling.

    Works well for my mother

    Review by J Connolly Posted on 10/09/2018 11:51:40
    The blister pen is helping my mum greatly. She can now open her tablets in foil blister packets on her own. The blister pen is now nicknamed mr sharpy! The only slight drawback is the button to turn it on/off is rather stiff.
