Abstract: An orthopedic finger piece for writing instruments is disclosed comprising a semi-flexible sleeve which is securable to an elongated writing instrument by means of a gripping member mounted in a second sleeve concentric with the semiflexible sleeve. The gripping member comprises a lever axially mounted in the second sleeve, one end of the lever having a cam lobe thereon that engages a writing instrument when the lever is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve and disengages a writing instrument when the lever is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve. When the cam lever is in the aformementioned parallel position the lever's outer edge is substantially flush with the outer wall of the second sleeve and the semi-resilient sleeve.
