Contour Design, Inc. is a new company founded to provide computer users with input devices designed to maximize ergonomic benefits. Its primary product, Contour Mouse, is designed for two audiences: individuals suffering from the debilitating effects of repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) to the hands, wrists, and arms, and other personal users seeking a more comfortable, higher performance input device.

Contour Design worked closely with personal computer users suffering from RSIs, hand therapists, and ergonomic consultants in designing the Contour Mouse. The result is a three button mouse that incorporates two design innovations: multiple sizes and an open hand architecture. These innovations increase control and decrease the strain and fatigue associated with intensive mouse use.

The Contour Mouse is the only mouse on the market available in three different sizes (small, medium and large) for right-handed and left-handed use. Product packaging has been designed to allow consumers to measure their hand prior to purchasing the Contour Mouse. Size is measured from the first crease on the wrist (nearest the hand) to the tip of the middle finger.

The Contour Mouse is equipped with software that enables the user to program buttons, define their own macros, and customize the speed and acceleration of the cursor, among other capabilities. It is available for a variety of computer systems including PC/compatables, Sun, and Macintosh.

softFLEX Computer Gloves were developed by a hand surgeon to relieve the external pressure that is applied to the wrists while they are at rest at the keyboard or mouse. The gloves are designed with two soft foam cushions that run on each side of and parallel to the median nerve at the wrist. When a keyboard user's wrists are at rest at the computer, softFLEX Computer Gloves absorb and divert the pressure so that the median nerve is not compressed.
