Abstract: A manually operable tablet splitting device, including a base and a cover, pivotally attached to the base, and movable between a tablet loading position and a tablet splitting position. The cover includes a blade for splitting a tablet into two substantially equal portions. A disposable tray, having a tablet-receiving cavity, is installable in the base to fix the tablet in position for splitting and to retain the split portions. The base includes an inclined platform having upwardly projecting receptacle locators for holding the tray in place.

Abstract: A manually operable tablet splitting apparatus, including a base having a frame mounted on an upper surface thereof and a disposable tablet-receiving tray, including a plurality of tablet shaped cavities for receiving and holding the tablets in position to be split. A handle is pivotally attached to the base and is movable between a tablet loading position and a tablet splitting position. The handle includes a blade for splitting the tablets into two substantially equal parts. A retractable shield is provided for covering the blade while it is in the tablet loading position, thereby reducing the likelihood of injury to an operator during operation of the apparatus. Each one of the tray cavities is adapted for receiving a tablet and for holding the received tablet in position for splitting.
