Abstract

Forceps/tweezers handles (400a) or apparatus for use with a hand include a proximal section (410a), a middle section (420a) and a distal section (430a). The proximal section engages one of a portion of radial or the ulnar side of the palmar surface of the hand without placing substantial pressure on a surface of the hand located over the carpal tunnel. The middle section connects with the proximal section and with the distal section and engages at least one the middle finger, ring finger or small finger of the hand. The distal section extends from the middle section and receives the thumb and at least of the index finger or middle finger of the hand. The distal section can include a working end and an implement can be attached to the working end of the distal end of the distal section.
