Questions?
Answered
from the left.
Why do left-handers need their own sharpener?
A standard sharpener is built for the turning direction of the right hand. Left-handers turn against that direction and have to use more force — the point comes out uneven. With Lefty® models, the pencil is turned outward instead.
What does the Desk-Pad Lefty® do?
A desk pad measuring 53 × 40 cm, developed by Dr Johanna Barbara Sattler. A printed diagram shows the ergonomically optimal paper and hand position for left-handers.
Who is the Desk-Pad Lefty® writing pad suitable for?
As a learning aid for children, as a retraining aid for left-handers who were switched to writing right-handed, or as a training aid for patients who need to learn to write with their left hand.
What's the difference between the Sattler Grip and the Sattler Tri-Grip?
The Tri-Grip's triangular shape encourages a natural three-point grip. The Sattler Grip gently guides the fingers into position with a patented shape, supported by a pressure-feedback system that gives way under too much pressure.
Are there drawing tools for left-handers?
Yes — the Softie®FLEX Lefty®, a flexible, unbreakable ruler with a scale oriented the right way round for left-handers.
