• a first arm having a first proximal end and a first distal end;
• a second arm having a second proximal end and a second distal end;
• and
• a connecting portion extending from the first and second proximal ends of the respective first and second arms, wherein the first and second arms extend from the connecting portion to the respective first and second distal ends, and wherein the connecting portion is configured to maintain spatial separation between the first and second proximal ends;
• an anvil extending from the first distal end of the first arm;
• and
• a blade extending from the second distal end of the second arm, the blade comprising a cutting edge facing the anvil;
• wherein the first and second arms are configured to move between:
• a closed state comprising:
• the first and second distal ends moved all the way towards each other;
• and
• the cutting edge facing, and adjacent to, the anvil;
• and
• an open state comprising:
• the first and second distal ends moved out of the closed state;
• and
• the cutting edge facing, and spatially separated from, the anvil;
• and
• wherein, when the first and second arms are moved from the open state with the blister positioned between the anvil and the cutting edge to the closed state, the cutting edge is configured to puncture and cut the blister open to enable user access to one or more pills inside the blister.
