Medline Silent Knight Pill Crusher Pouches (Pack of 1000)

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.

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.

Good quality and quickly arrived.

I am a Registered Nurse and the Wellness Director of a fairly large facility. In my position, I am also responsible for ordering all of our medical supplies. I have a budget to stay within, so I always check/compare prices and reviews thoroughly before ordering any supplies we need. Most of our supplies I am able to purchase here on Amazon and it helps me stay below my budget and so far all of the products I’ve purchased have been of top quality. I’ve compared prices with many well known top medical product suppliers and with almost every product, the price/product ratio here on Amazon almost always beats other suppliers. So far everything I have ordered (nitrile gloves, soufflé med cups, plastic med cups, plastic med pass water cups, pill crush bags, etc) have all been top notch and high quality medical grade products. I also love that with Amazon I don’t have to purchase a minimum amount to qualify for free shipping. Most items I order I’m able to receive free shipping due to being a prime member. I’ve been very pleased and thankful for the quality, service and great deals. It has helped me for almost 2 years to keep my facility stocked with our needed supplies and keep me below my budget. Thank you!!!

Good quality

My daughter is fully disabled, she doesn’t take anything by mouth. She has a g-button that everything has to go through. She has a lot of medication and several only comes in pill form, these pouches make it extremely easy to crush her pills and to get the medicine into a syringe. Plus I put water into the pouch to make sure I get all the medication even the residue. I really love these pouches. The work so well with our silent night crusher.

Bought these for work. They do what they're supposed to do, and thick enough to keep medication inside of the pack. Good brand.

I had gastric bypass 10 years ago, so now my body doesn't digest pills the way they're supposed to. So to be sure that I'm getting all of my medications, my doctor has me crush them and mix it in a small shot size glass of Red Gatorade. I have found through the years that it's the easiest if I can get the pills crushed as fine as possible. I've had several crushers in the past years but they can never get the pills completely crushed fine, but I spoke to a nurse that works in a nursing home and she suggested that I look up the crusher called silent night. I have to say it's a game changer. (And worth every penny.)I tried once before to cheap out and buy the cheaper bags to use with the crusher but almost every time the bags would puncture and the pill powder would go everywhere. So now anytime anyone is ever asking me about crushing medications for any reason. I always highly suggest the silent night crusher with the name brand bags (these)!

Good quality and value for money

Work amazing. Are durable with crushing pills. Good quality

Decent product.

A great value when you have to do multiple medication’s in one day with the pill crusher so by buying them in bulk like this is much better on my budget. Great products.

Big help with crushing & holding the pills.
