http://www.ringpen.com/whyringpen.html Description of Technology: An ergonomically designed pen with a hole in the middle. Pen controlled mainly by thumb and index finger.
Features: Center of gravity is just below the hole. Pen allows for more rapid writing and reduces hand soreness and cramping (14). Comes with your choice of color. User manual and tips on how to use the Ring-Pen are accessible from their website.
Manufacturer: No Grip Ring-Pen by Grandee Corporation
Users/Benefits: Helps users with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and "poor fine motor skills" (14). Pen is recommended for anyone who does a large deal of writing. Since you do not use your middle finger with this pen, the potential for getting calluses or blisters is low (14).
Issues:I have not tried this pen myself; if you are used to using a regular pencil or pen, I have a feeling it may take some time getting used to the Ring-Pen.
Cost: $7.95
