3kDevice Information
Overview
The assistive pencil grip is an adaptive aid designed for people with low grip strength and hand dexterity. The pear shape allows writers to rest their fingers in a natural writing position. Users can choose between two sizes — 7.8mm and 9.8mm — to use with their pen or pencil of their choice.
This assistive device can be 3D printed in a flexible (TPU) or rigid (PLA) material.
How To Use
Place a pen or pencil through the hole of the grip.
Persons with low hand mobility or grip strength are well suited to using the assistive pencil grip. The end-user uses the assistive pencil grip by placing their choice of pencil through the grip. Note: This grip is designed to be printed with flexible material so that it will stretch and tightly hold your pencil while in use.
Disability Type Description
This device is designed for people with low grip strength and dexterity in their hands, like those with arthritis and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
