Abstract
An antimicrobial device for holding writing implements. The device is generally elongate in shape and comprises a body with a channel contained therein. The channel has a first open end and a second open end. It is critical to the present invention that the body of the invention be made from an antimicrobial material, such as copper or silver or various alloys of the same. Because the body of the device according to the present invention is made from an antimicrobial material, germs and other unhealthy organisms either perish or are prevented from unduly multiplying thereby reducing the spread of unwanted contamination. In a preferred embodiment there is a stricture portion that is a reducer of the inner diameter of the second open end.
