Left-Handed Maped Visio Pen

The number of Left-Handers continues to grow and is today estimated at 15% of the world's population, ramping up to 25-30% for children aged 6-12. Maped, a French company well known for its excellent products for school age kids, has developed this pen especially for left-handers. Though engineered for kids, adults LOVE it.

Special Left-Handed features include:

• A hooked neck and off-center tip allowing left-handers to SEE what they are writing! The fingers are farther away from the tip, so they don't hide or smudge the writing.

• A triangular, soft-touch grip ergonomically designed for left-handers to use with correct posture. This design works so well for lefties that they will not need to learn the painful "hook" writing position, so their posture will be good, and they'll be able to write for long periods without pain.

• Fast-drying non-smudge ink with an ultra-smooth flow.

Red Pen

The Maped Left-handed Visio Pens are the newest pen designed by a famous family-owned French company specializing in developing products for schools for over 60 years (Maped stands for Manufacture of Articles of Precision et [and} Drawing). They've researched the needs and usage of school equipment for various ages, and refined the designs through testing their products with focus groups, end users, and professionals. Recognizing that the percentage of left-handed students is increasing, Maped has analyzed left-handed writing as well as other fine motor skills, and developed a line of products especially designed to give young lefties confidence, and older lefties terrific ease of use.
