Silver ions perform work by penetrating bacterial membranes and then binding to essential cell components, thus preventing the spread of bacteria. Silver is commonly used in bandages for wounds and on coatings on door handles to cut down the transmission of germs. So when designing the Doctors Pen it made sense to make it from Sterling Silver which is 92.5% silver.Writing with a DoctorsPenAlthough doctors are generally not renowned for their handwriting, we are confident every handwriting style will be improved with this pen!Available as a RollerballThe Doctors Pen is available as a Rollerball with a choice of blue or black ink.
