The Heavyweight Pen

The Heavyweight Pen is a weighted black pen with black ink developed by doctors. The HeavyWeight Pen is a therapeutic product designed to help manage and overcome hand health issues. Great for all ages and lefties or righties, the heavyweight pen helps to improve legibility, prevents writers cramp, builds strength, and decreases hand tremor.  

The weight of the pen (4.0 ounces) encourages support from larger muscles in the arm, and reduces the burden on smaller, more sensitive hand muscles. The weight helps the pen effortlessly rest in the hand, and means there’s no need to provide downward pressure for it to write. The heavyweight pen works well for those with Tremors, Arthritis or other hand issues. 

For children, the added weight of the HeavyWeight Pen addresses the need to develop fine motor skills and adequate hand strength before they can improve their handwriting.  The unique grip is recommended by occupational therapists to help children learn to write. The shape of The Pencil Grip gently positions fingers in the proper, ergonomic position for gripping. This proper positioning reduces stress on the fingers, reduces fatigue, and helps the hand relax as it writes. 

Bonus points: The Arthritis Foundation recommends the unique ergonomic grip.
