The unique competitive advantages of the Universal-Pill dispenser can be summarized in the following points:
It is a dispenser and not only a container.
It works for all pills regardless of the size and shape of the pill. This is important because the mold does not need to be changed if a company decides to change its pills or introduce a new one. This is a considerable long-term gain because molds are very expensive.
The concept is simple and therefore it is feasible to manufacture at a low cost.
It is easy to use yet child-resistant. Some of the designs eliminate the compromising act that must be balanced between ease of use vs. childproof.
Some of the designs take the childproof concept to a more abstract level by eliminating the need to open the cap altogether. In other words, a child does not have access to all pills at once given that he/she could beat the child-resistant (CR) mechanism.
