It was the winner of the 2006 Horner’s Plastics Innovation and Design Award. Rather than using a ring grip, which was more restricting and tiring for surgeons, control of the instrument is through rolling it with the forefinger and thumb, like a pen. The jaws are controlled with minimal arm movement. It is built and assembled by Sovrin Plastics.[1][2][3][4]
