Ergo Putty^® is a pocket-sized hand and wrist exerciser designed to strengthen the small muscles you rely on every day. Squeeze, pinch, roll, and stretch your way to better grip endurance, sharper fine-motor control, and improved circulation — at your desk, in a meeting, on a call, or anywhere you have a free minute.

Adapted from hand-rehabilitation putties used clinically since the 1950s, Ergo Putty^® brings that same proven resistance training into the workday as a simple ergonomic preventative. Stronger fingers, hands, and forearms mean less fatigue, easier lifting and carrying, and better protection for the joints and tendons under strain at a keyboard, in a lab, or in clinical work.

Why Ergo Putty^®

• Strengthens fingers, hands, and forearms with low-impact resistance
• Helps reduce fatigue during repetitive or precision-based tasks
• Supports circulation and fine-motor endurance
• Protects joints by reinforcing the surrounding muscles and tendons
• Portable enough for pockets, drawers, briefcases, and travel bags
• Quiet and discreet for meetings, calls, and flights

Six Core Exercises

• Hand Squeeze — full-grip strength
• Pinch Grip — thumb and fingertip control
• Lateral / Key Pinch Grip — thumb and index strength
• Putty Roll — wrist and forearm conditioning
• Finger Adduction — bringing the fingers together against resistance
• Finger Abduction — spreading the fingers apart against resistance

How to Use

Work Ergo Putty^® into the moments you already have — on the phone, in a meeting, on a flight, watching TV, or as part of a daily warm-up. As with any exercise, give your hands time to recover between sessions. Consistent, low-effort use builds strength better than long, intense bursts.
