– Background of the SIANTO development
Shigetoshi Kaitani, the developer of “SYANTO”, noticed in his daily practice at his acupuncture clinic that the number of adults and children with poor posture increased year by year.
In fact, according to a survey of 1,000 people, it was found that about 60% of them face problems caused by smartphones.
Various symptoms such as hand fatigue, finger pain, stiff shoulders and eyestrain were reported, and some also said that “the larger smartphones put extra strain on my fingers”.
– The cause of these symptoms was caused by holding the phone firmly to avoid dropping it.
We tend to unconsciously hold onto a smartphone, perhaps because of the high cost of repairing the screen when it’s broken in a fall.
This cramps and tenses the entire arm and ultimately leads to various complaints in the fingers.
Examples of hand and finger symptoms
– Texting with the thumb… Inflammation and pain develop in the thumb. The condition is difficult to cure.
– Smartphone Pinky… Acquired finger deformity from holding a smartphone with the pinky for hours.
Symptoms such as fingers not properly aligned may occur.
Also in the field of acupuncture it is believed that “the little finger is connected to the back”. and when you hold the phone your back is arched. Therefore, there is a risk that symptoms can appear in all parts of the body, as well as the fingers. That’s how important the way we hold our phones is to healthcare and something needs to be done to improve it.
Patented “bottom fulcrum” smartphone accessory SIANTO
The strain on the body from gripping the phone tightly.
We wondered if there was a phone accessory that could solve this problem and developed SIANTO; Smartphone accessories that don’t need to be grasped.
We have received a patent
based on the idea of holding the phone by placing it upside down instead of gripping it, invented a new way of holding the phone called “bottom pivot”, originally from “SYANTO”.
We invented a new way of holding the phone called “Bottom Fulcrum”, the original by “SYANTO”.
Patent #6467677
-Properties of “SYANTO
1. Hook the leather belt around your finger to free it from the weight of the phone
Attach it to the lowest point of the bottom of the phone and hook the leather belt on your pinky to hold the “bottom pivot” in place. A new way of holding the phone is realized by “putting it on your hand” instead of gripping it tightly to prevent the phone from falling. This relieves the wrist and fingers.
2. Lower the phone’s center of gravity and maintain a naturally correct posture
By lowering the center of gravity of the phone, it is possible to keep the phone in a higher position for longer periods of time.
Raising the angle of view unconsciously lengthens the pose, reducing stress on the neck and shoulders. This relieves them.
3, good for theft prevention
The design hooks on the fingers, making it convenient for snatching and preventing theft.
There is no need to grip it tightly to prevent it from being stolen.
Aside from the above features, it is also…
・Compatible with wireless charging and iPhone 13 MagSafe due to its flat surface.
・Compatible with large smartphones and tablets. Can be kept stable both vertically and horizontally.
・Easy to take out of a bag or pocket due to the smooth, flat surface. Don’t get stuck!
These are the specs for anyone who spends a lot of time on their smartphone.
We recommend this product as a gift for those who have started to experience physical discomfort, as well as for your loved ones.
-The difference between traditional smartphone rings and SIANTO
The smartphone rings available in the market to be fixed in the middle of the phone are generally intended to be fixed with the index and middle fingers and the phone is supported with the pinky. Considering that the phone is used for a long period of time, it may cause pain or deformation of the fingers.
