Claims16
A blister pack tool for opening blister packaging to remove a dosage unit comprising:
- a handle;
- and
- a head including a guiding section and a bowl section;
- wherein the handle is connected to the head;
- wherein the handle includes a first end and a second end, wherein the handle is designed to taper from the first end to the second end, wherein the second end is connected to the head;
- wherein the guiding section includes a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the guiding section further includes a piercing tip positioned on the distal end;
- wherein the handle extends along a first longitudinal axis, wherein the guiding section extends along a second longitudinal axis, wherein the first longitudinal axis is substantially perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis;
- wherein the bowl section includes a capture area and a bowl wall;
- wherein the piercing tip is connected to the bowl section via a guideway, wherein the piercing tip is configured to pierce a blister pack, wherein, once the blister pack is pierced, the guiding section is configured to capture and remove a dosage unit from the blister pack;
- and
- wherein the bowl section is operable to receive the removed dosage unit via the guideway;
- and
- wherein the capture area includes a bottom surface and a guide wall, wherein the bottom surface is entirely flat, wherein the guide wall surrounds the flat bottom surface, wherein the guide wall extends upward from an edge of the flat bottom surface, wherein, after receiving the removed dosage unit, the bowl section is designed for the removed dosage unit to lay on the flat bottom surface.
