Abstract
A tool for removing child resistant caps from medicine containers is formed of a resilient material providing a good frictional interfit with the cap to be removed. The tool has a lower surface defining a cap receiving recess and an upper surface defining a smooth surface of transition comfortably received in the palm of one's hand. The cap is removed by inserting it into the recess and by palm pressure only, depressing and rotating the cap to remove it from its child resistant engagement with the container.
