Easy To HoldGreat for people with: • Arthritis • Hand pain • Restricted mobility |
Large Diameter BarrelPeople with arthritic hands who would otherwise have difficulty grasping or pinching find this size easier to hold that other commercially available pens. |
Grip It Your Own WayThe wide rounded profile does not force your fingers into some “ideal” ergonomic grip. It will accommodate many alternative ways of being held, the one most comfortable for you! |
Why Thixoropic Pens?
My wife has had arthritis since she was 13. For years she has tried all kinds of pens: foam grips, ergonomic shapes, etc. Some are okay but this pen works best from her. This is a super big fat pen that works for people with arthritis or anyone with limited dexterity. My wife loves this pen. Now you too can enjoy this truly useful and comfortable pen. She found that fancy ergonomic styles, ring pens, and foam grips just do not work that great for people with arthritis. You do not need a fancy pen, just something big, fat, and easy to hold.
Since 2010 the Thixotropic brand of ability aids has been helping to improve lives by designing and developing unique daily independent living aids. Whether you’re a senior with growing discomfort or have a child starting life with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Thixotropic products can help make everyday tasks simpler.

If you're like me, and you can no longer bend your thumb around a normal width pen, these pens really are for you. I love them.
