❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is Curvapen different from other adaptive pens?
A: Curvapen’s U.S. patented curved nib lets users write from any grip position while keeping a clear view of the page. No other pen works like it. It’s not just a thicker barrel — it’s a whole new writing experience.
Q: Can I use this overhand or sideways?
A: Definitely. Curvapen thrives in nontraditional grip positions. Our illustrated guide (included with every order) shows how real users make it work their way.
Q: My clinic already uses iPads and styluses — why add this?
A: Digital tools are excellent, but real handwriting still happens on paper. Curvapen complements your digital therapy by giving patients tactile feedback, visual clarity, and muscle memory for real-world tasks like forms, notes, and journaling.
Q: Who can benefit from Curvapen?
A: Curvapen helps people with stroke, arthritis, Parkinson’s, MS, tremors, carpal tunnel, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, post-surgery recovery, and low vision. It’s also used by kids with physical or developmental delays, such as juvenile arthritis, CP, or vision loss. Therapists and educators use it to boost engagement and motivation during rehab or classroom sessions.
Q: Will this help my child with cerebral palsy or arthritis?
A: Absolutely. Curvapen is widely used in pediatric OT programs to help children with mobility or coordination challenges write again comfortably and confidently.
Q: What if I can’t grip like I used to?
A: You don’t have to. The nib allows ink to flow from almost any angle. You can hold it palm-down, sideways, overhand, or even with a writing aid — and it still works.
Q: Can my students with vision loss use this?
A: Yes. Curvapen’s open nib design ensures a clear sightline, even for kids or adults with low vision, hand tremors, or unusual grip angles.
Q: Will this help if I have tremors or shaky hands?
A: Yes. The nib is more forgiving than standard pens — reducing skips and helping you stay on the line, even when your movements aren’t steady.
Q: Do patients and kids enjoy using it?
A: Yes! Both adults and children describe it as fun and empowering. Because it doesn’t force them into painful or awkward grips, they’re more motivated to practice — which leads to real progress.
Q: Do kids actually enjoy it?
A: Yes! Parents, teachers, and therapists say kids are excited to write again. It’s engaging, confidence-boosting, and helps them feel successful with every session.
Q: Will it smudge or skip?
A: Nope. Curvapen uses high-quality, no-leak ink cartridges to deliver clean, consistent lines every time.
Q: Can I try it before ordering in bulk?
A: Yes. That’s exactly what our Starter Pack is for. It’s a low-cost way to try it out before buying larger quantities for your clinic, school, or family.
Q: How fast is shipping?
A: We ship from the U.S. and process orders within 24 hours. Most customers receive their pens in just a few days.
Q: What kind of ink does Curvapen use?
A: Curvapen uses smooth-flow, archival-quality black ink. It's smear-resistant and quick-drying, making it ideal for left-handed writers and users with tremors or muscle fatigue.
Q: What size is the tip?
A: The Curvapen features a 0.7mm medium-point nib — the perfect balance between bold and precise for most users.
Q: Can I use it with my left hand?
A: Absolutely. Curvapen is ambidextrous and perfect for left- or right-handed users, including those who write sideways or overhand.
Q: Is Curvapen comfortable for small hands or kids?
A: Yes! While the barrel is slightly thicker than a standard pen, it’s ergonomically designed to feel natural in both adult and child hands — even with limited grip strength.
Q: Do you offer bulk or clinic pricing?
A: Yes! Clinics, schools, and rehab centers can request bulk pricing and sample kits. Just email info@curvapen.com for details.
