Eye drop squeezer (capsules)

The client needs to regularly treat her eyes with drops. The drops are in capsules only 20mm long and the client is unable to squeeze the capsule due to arthritis. Commercial devices were too clumsy and would not fit in her handbag.

Two identical wooden arms 100mm long were hinged at one end to a metal block. The block has a cut out to locate the neck of the capsule (with the cap loosened by another device but still in place to keep the nozzle clean). With the capsule located, the arms provide the leverage to squeeze the capsule.

The client can squeeze the eye drops with perfect control.
