Medical Twist Pen Kits (PSI)

Craft a pen that honors the heroes of healthcare with the Medical Twist Pen Kit from Penn State Industries. Every detail pays tribute to the medical profession — from the iconic medical cross on the cap to the Caduceus clip featuring twin snakes coiling around a winged staff, to the EKG heartbeat design etched into the nib. A single-tube build and smooth twist mechanism make this one of the most rewarding pens to turn for any skill level.

What makes the Medical Twist truly special is how much it communicates before a single word is written. This is a pen built for gifting — a meaningful, handcrafted token of appreciation for doctors, nurses, EMTs, pharmacists, paramedics, therapists, and every healthcare professional who gives their best every day. Pair it with a blank in deep burl, stabilized wood, or bold acrylic to create a gift that will be remembered.

Please note, this is a woodturnng kit. You will need a lathe, tools, and a blank to complete. It is not a finished item.

Features

• Medical-themed hardware: Medical cross on cap, Caduceus clip, and EKG heartbeat nib make every detail intentional and meaningful.

• Smooth twist mechanism: Reliable click-free twist action deploys the tip cleanly and adds a professional feel to every use.
