Replaceable pill-cutting device

Abstract

A replaceable pill-cutting device includes a base, a pressure cap, a plurality of elastic elements, and at least one pill-placement insert. The base includes a replacement space. The pressure cap is disposed on the base, and a blade is disposed inside the pressure cap. The pill-placement insert is detachably disposed in the replacement space. Each pill-placement insert includes a housing, at least one pill-placement slot, and a second blade-positioning slot. Both the pill-placement slot and the second blade-positioning slot are recessed downward from the top side of the housing, and the second blade-positioning slot passes through the center of the pill-placement slot. The pressure cap is disposed above the base, and the pill-placement slot is used to place pills. When a pill-placement insert is inserted into the replacement space, the user can press down on the pressure cap to make the blade point downward and cut the pill located in the pill-placement slot.
