Abstract
A writing instrument is provided. The writing instrument includes a bifurcated body extending along a central axis. The body has a distal writing tip located on a first side of a tubular bifurcation and a proximal end located on a second side of the bifurcation, distal from the distal writing tip. The distal writing tip has a frustoconical end and a tubular portion extending proximally from the frustoconical end. The tubular portion has a circumferential ridge adjacent the frustoconical end. The bifurcation has a diameter larger than the diameter of the tubular portion. The proximal end includes a plurality of fingers extending proximally from the bifurcation. Each of the plurality of fingers is biased toward the central axis. A method of using the writing instrument is also provided.

A writing instrument comprising:
- a bifurcated body extending along a central axis, the body having a distal writing tip fixedly connected to a first side of a tubular bifurcation and a proximal end fixedly connected to a second side of the bifurcation, distal from the distal writing tip,
- wherein the distal writing tip has a frustoconical end and a tubular portion extending proximally from the frustoconical end, the tubular portion having a circumferential ridge adjacent the frustoconical end;
- wherein the bifurcation has a diameter larger than the diameter of the tubular portion;
- and
- wherein the proximal end includes a plurality of fingers extending proximally from the bifurcation, each of the plurality of fingers being biased toward the central axis.
A writing instrument comprising:
- a body extending along a central axis, the body having:
- a distal end;
- a central portion fixedly attached to a proximal end of the distal end, the central portion having a larger diameter than the distal end;
- and
- a proximal end having a plurality of fingers fixedly attached to and extending proximally from the central portion, each of the plurality of fingers being biased toward the central axis.
