Abstract: A pill management device includes a portable reservoir having a pill-receiving inlet and an access door spaced from the pill-receiving inlet, a pill-crushing mechanism disposed within the reservoir and configured to transform a solid pill, introduced via the pill-receiving inlet, to pill powder, and a locking mechanism in communication with the access door and the pill-receiving inlet for preventing unauthorized access to the pill powder housed within the reservoir. Advantageously, the locking mechanism locks the access door and the pill-receiving inlet.

Abstract: The present invention is anti prick needle which is extendable and retractable only under positive user control. The present invention has an auto stopper that prevents inadvertent extension of the needle to an operable position without user invention. In operation the present invention is fitted to the end of a syringe. The user pushes down on an extending device which releases a latching device permitting the needle to slide forward to an operable position against a spring bias. The needle remains extended as long as the user continues to push on the extending device. When the user has completed an injection and releases the extending device the needle is automatically retracted by the spring bias. Further, once the needle is retracted into the needle holder an auto stopper latching device is activated which closes the opening preventing the needle from being extended with the extending device or other means.
