Making Medication Packs Easier to Open: Introducing Medicorn, Now Available Through Omnicell
Omnicell is pleased to announce that Medicorn is now available across Australia, providing pharmacies, aged care providers, home care organisations and patients with a simple solution to a common medication management challenge: opening DAA packs and blister-packed medications.
For many people living with arthritis, reduced hand strength, limited dexterity or mobility challenges, accessing medications can be difficult. This everyday challenge can impact medication adherence, increase reliance on carers and create frustration for people managing their own medications.
When medication is difficult to access, the risk of missed doses, delayed administration, and reliance on others can increase. For carers, family members, and healthcare providers, ensuring patients can easily access their medications is an important part of supporting adherence and independence.
Designed in Australia, for Everyday Use
Medicorn has been developed to make accessing packed medications easier. Its simple, ergonomic design helps users open blister-packed medications with less effort, providing a practical solution that fits easily into daily routines.
Using Medicorn is straightforward. The device is placed in the palm of the hand and positioned against the back of a blister pack. The specially designed horn pierces the foil or plastic backing, allowing the pack to be opened more easily so medications can be dispensed into the integrated cup.
The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip while remaining robust enough for everyday use.
Ideal for DAA Patients
Medicorn can benefit many people who encounter challenges opening medication packs, including:
-
- Older Australians
- People living with arthritis
- Individuals with reduced hand strength or dexterity
- Community pharmacy patients
- Home care recipients
- Residential aged care residents
- People recovering from injury or illness affecting hand mobility
Small Device. Big Difference.
Improving medication adherence does not always require complex technology or major changes to care processes. Sometimes, addressing a simple everyday challenge can make a meaningful difference. By making medication packs easier to open, Medicorn helps remove a common barrier to medication access, supporting independence, confidence, and more consistent medication management.
As part of Omnicell's commitment to helping healthcare providers and patients achieve better medication outcomes, we are excited to make Medicorn available to pharmacies, healthcare organisations, aged care providers, and patients across Australia.
Helping People Stay Independent, One Dose at a Time.
