We've invented a pill-splitter that actually works!
Safe, effective, and accessible technology that anyone can use
About Pinch Easy
The Invention
We are first and foremost, parents of a special needs child. We were so frustrated and tired of ruining pill after pill for our child. Current products on the market were hard to use and didn't split tiny pills. After inspiration from our aunt and uncle who also cut pills for their dog, we leveraged our expertise--Tami is a clinical social worker and Matt is a physician--and invented a pill splitter with dual opposed blades that cut pills cleanly and evenly. This device, named PinchEasy ™ is a premium product that has a combined self-centering mechanism with an innovative spring system that lets the user do it all with one gentle squeeze of the side buttons, ultimately ensuring an accurate dose. Moreover, a safety lid prevents users from cutting their fingers on the blades inadvertently. This pill-splitter is ideal for patients, caregivers, and pet-owners (e.g. fur parents)..oh, and did we mention...it actually works!
Accessibility and Stress-Reduction
As patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, we at PinchEasy believe that everyone should have access to medical equipment that works. When we first designed PinchEasy ™, we wanted to make sure anyone could use it; especially older adults with arthritis, people with eyesight challenges, and people with motor planning issues. We also wanted to make sure it was safe to use around children. With the spring-action and gear system (patent-pending), and the safety lid, PinchEasy ™ is extremely easy to use--just drop the pill in the 'chute', and use a gentle squeeze--it's that easy! No challenges holding the pill just right to cut it in half.
In addition to accessibility, we simply want to make life less stressful for parents (human or pet), patients, and caregivers. From experience, we understand the stresses of breaking pills, screwing up dosage, and fighting with pharmacies or insurance companies for replacements, let alone the frustration of financial waste. By knowing that your pill-splitter will work the way you want it to every time, you will have confidence that you will get an accurate dose. In turn, this is one less thing you have to think about or hold in your brain (and if you are a special needs parent, patient, or caregiver, you know what we're talking about!).
Patented and Safe
PinchEasy ™ is currently held under SR Holdings and Innovations, LLC located in Olathe, KS. At the onset of this company’s creation, efforts were focused on patent approval for the PinchEasy ™ pill-splitting device, with United States Patent No. 10,772,802 issued on September 15, 2020. A second non-provisional patent pending was filed to cover a new torsion spring with dual action blades on December 7, 2023, and the inventors are currently waiting for final patent approval (Application No. 18/532,705).
