Abstract
A dispenser () for dispensing medical items () includes dispenser modules () movably mounted thereon. The dispenser modules are selectively operative to dispense medical items therefrom into a path () which is connected to a delivery area () of the dispenser. The dispenser and the dispenser modules therein are configured to provide security against unauthorized access thereto. However an authorized user is enabled to readily access the dispenser modules and the medical items therein by unlocking a lock (), opening a door () and extending the dispenser modules through an opening (). With the dispenser modules in the extended position the medical items therein may be replenished. Alternatively, the dispenser modules may be disconnected from the dispenser and replaced with substitute dispenser modules.
