ErgoSof Pen’s design is based around a “Y” formation that allows you to position your index finger for pen holding, rather than wrapping your fingers tightly around it. This reduces hand fatigue, making it ideal for those suffering from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive stress injuries, Arthritis, Parkinson’s. Unlike conventional pens that rely on the strength of your grip, the PenAgain’s ergonomic index finger cradle takes advantage of the natural weight of the hand to generate the pressure needed to apply ink to paper.
