Clinical Features & Benefits
- Made for solid doses. The 2oz size holds a full round of tablets and capsules without crowding, so doses are easy to check before you give them.
- Infection control. Use a new cup for each patient or resident, then throw it away. There's nothing to wash and no equipment is shared.
- Sturdy 80GSM paper. Firm enough to carry on a medication trolley without folding.
- No plastic, no coating. Plain paper suits facilities trying to cut single-use plastic.
- Hygienic bag packs. Bags of 250 keep the stock you're using covered, while the rest of the carton stays sealed.

Sustainability & Disposal
Because there's no plastic, wax or PLA lining, this pill cup is a simpler, plastic-free option than a lined cup or a PP or PS plastic one. Clean, unused cups can usually go in paper recycling. Cups that have held medication should be disposed of under your facility's waste management policy.
