Advanced Engineering and Design
Advanced engineering and design components have been applied to the original Silent Knight’s basic operating and crushing features to create the Silent Knight. The patented dual action “crushing and grinding” movements of the Silent Knight result in silent, smooth, effortless and effective crushing of pills to fine powder.
The crusher handle is designed for all hand sizes to fit comfortably. User safety is enhanced with the specially designed internal handle shock absorber. And the surgical quality stainless steel crushing components, along with a solid aluminum base and handle, make the Silent Knight a powerful, highly effective and durable piece of medical equipment.
Exclusive Pill Crusher Pouch
The Silent Knight does not function alone. Its companion item, the patented Silent Knight Pill Crusher Pouch, is essential to guarantee maximum performance while reducing cost, waste, malfunction and lost time. The pouch’s distinctive curved bottom structure assures full recovery of crushed medication. The thick, durable construction effectively reduces pharmaceutical cross contamination and eliminates loss of medication.

The Silent Knight is guaranteed to be free of materials and parts defects. If the unit fails due to parts failure, it will be replaced by Links Medical at no charge to the original owner. NOTE: The use of any pill container other than the Silent Knight Pill Crusher Pouch (i.e. other plastic pouches, plastic unit dose packages, or cups) will void the warranty.
