Ergonomic Palm Buttons

Sof-Touch-2 Palm Button

The newly redesigned ISB Sof-Touch-2 Palm Button replacement is the gentle way to initiate your machine’s cycle. Sof-Touch-2 is a totally self-contained direct replacement for conventional mechanical spring loaded palm buttons. Sof-Touch-2 ergonomic palm buttons require no physical pressure to initiate a machine cycle, therefore they substantially reduce repetitive motion trauma such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
