The Doctor's Pen featuring the Rod of Asclepius
The Doctor’s Pen has been designed and handcrafted in England by a small group of highly talented silversmiths and pen technicians exclusively for those in the medical profession and features the Rod of Asclepius.

The cap and barrel are made in Sterling Silver and have been engraved using a genuine engine-turning machine  that is almost 100 years old - but still in perfect working condition. It has produced a beautiful and traditional 'basket-weave' pattern that shimmers when it's caught by light. Each pen is stamped by the Birmingham Assay office with full English hallmarks on the barrel to confirm the purity of the silver.  

The pen’s clip represents the Rod of Asclepius – a symbol which features a serpent entwined around a staff and takes its name from the god Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicinal arts in Greek mythology. It has been associated with the medical profession for thousands of years.

On the end of the cap is an engraved title The Doctor’s Pen – Made in England that confirms its British origins.

The antibacterial properties of silver

Scientists have long known that the silver is a potent antibacterial agent. Silver ions perform work  by penetrating bacterial membranes and then binding to essential cell components, thus preventing the spread of bacteria. Silver is commonly used in bandages for wounds and on coatings on door handles to cut down the transmission of germs. So when designing the Doctor's Pen it made sense to make it from Sterling Silver which is 92.5% silver.

Limited edition

The Doctor’s Pen is being issued in a worldwide limited edition of just 100. Each one is engraved with an edition number on the end of the barrel and will be accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity confirming its edition number.
