Marlen Hippocrates: Fountain pen for doctors with professional symbols
The central band of the Hippocrates Marlen shaft depicts the face of the famous ancient Greek physician who lived between 460 and 377 BC, considered the father of medicine for establishing this discipline as a science separate from philosophy and theurgy. The oath still sworn by physicians today testifies to the enduring legacy of his thought.
The clip features an engraved image of the Staff of Asklepios (Aesculapius to the Romans), an internationally recognized symbol of healing arts. Asklepios was the Greek god of medicine, son of Apollo. The staff with the coiled serpent represents healing and rebirth and is used by medical organizations worldwide.
These symbols make the fountain pen a distinctive tool for those working in the healthcare sector, combining everyday functionality and professional meaning.
Marlen Ippocrate materials: Italian resin, silver and bronze
The body and cap are crafted from solid bar Italian resin , precision-machined to ensure uniformity and strength. The solid bar turning process allows for smooth surfaces and fine details, with a glossy finish that enhances the available colors.
The metal parts are crafted from silver, bronze, and metal , with finishes that ensure durability and wear resistance. The central silver and bronze band features a bas-relief of the father of medicine, while the metal clip features an engraving of the staff of Asklepios.
The combination of Italian resin and fine metals gives the pen a balanced weight and a solid feel when writing.

Is Marlen Hippocrates suitable as a gift for a doctor?
The fountain pen is specifically designed to celebrate the medical profession. The central band depicts the father of medicine, while the clip features the staff of Asklepios, an international symbol of the medical arts. Its generous size and fine materials (Italian resin, silver, bronze) make it a distinctive gift for doctors, residents, and healthcare professionals on the occasion of graduations, specializations, or professional achievements.
Which nib size should I choose for everyday use?
For everyday professional use, we recommend the Fine (F) or Medium (M) nib. The F nib produces a thin line suitable for writing on forms and medical documents, while the M nib offers greater smoothness and a more visible line. Both sizes are available in gold-plated steel. For those seeking a superior experience, the 18kt gold nib (size 6) is available.
What is the difference between steel and gold nibs?
The gold-plated steel nib ensures reliability, durability, and consistent smoothness, with plating that protects against corrosion. The 18kt gold nib (size 6) offers greater flexibility and smoothness, adapting to the pressure of the hand for a more personalized writing experience. The choice depends on individual preference and expected intensity of use.
What colors are available?
The fountain pen is available in five colors of Italian resin turned from solid bar: black (classic elegance), dark blue (understatement), burgundy (distinction), red (character), and white (modernity). All colors feature the same silver and bronze finishes on the central band and clip, ensuring the collection's aesthetic coherence.
How does cartridge or converter loading work?
The pen uses the international standard filling system. You can use pre-filled cartridges (included) for immediate convenience, or the included piston converter to draw ink from bottles. The converter allows you to choose from thousands of ink colors available on the market, offering maximum customization.

The central band
The central band of the silver and bronze shaft depicts Hippocrates: an ancient Greek physician, geographer, and aphorist, considered the father of medicine.
Hippocrates introduced the innovative concept that a person's illness and health depended on specific human circumstances, not on superior divine intervention; he invented the medical record, theorized the need to rationally observe patients, taking notes and transcribing their appearance and symptoms, and introduced, for the first time, the concepts of diagnosis and prognosis.
The clip features the staff of Asklepios, an ancient symbol of medicine.
Asklepios was the Greek god of medicine (Aesculapius to the Romans).
The Rod of Asclepius symbolizes the healing arts, combining the serpent – which, by shedding its skin, symbolizes rebirth and fertility – with the rod, a simple instrument.
