NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: The Greater New York Dental Meeting is a great place to check out new technological innovations. One company that had a lot to show off at this year’s meeting was Orascoptic, which recently introduced two new products — the EyeZoom telescope for dentists and the RDH Elite loupe for hygienists.

“EyeZoom is great for any dentist who wants to do a general hygiene check, but then also do endo work,” Nicole Jacobson, associate marketing manager of Orascoptic, told Dental Tribune during an interview on the show floor on Wednesday morning, the last day of the New York meeting. “It’s easy to change magnification by twisting on the barrel and switching between the different views, which is nice because it does not change working distance.”

“The lenses are high-grade, very unique, never seen before in the industry — and it has been a great seller for us at the show as well,” Jacobson said.

According to product information provided by Orascoptic, the EyeZoom is the first and only loupe to offer adjustable levels of magnification ranging from 3x to 5x. Developed to assist health-care professionals in viewing an operating site from multiple perspectives, EyeZoom conforms to fit the custom preference of each individual. Whether you are an endodontist performing a procedure at 5x or a cosmetic dentist applying a veneer at 3x, the loupe maintains a consistent working distance at each magnification power level, Orascoptic said.

Co-engineered by Orascoptic and Konica Minolta, the patent-pending EyeZoom technology provides edge-to-edge clarity and high-definition resolution. Designed for an ideal symmetry between style and performance, the lightweight magnesium bezel adds an esthetically pleasing style to this medical device.

EyeZoom is available on the Legend, Rave, Rydon and Victory frames and can be configured as a through-the-lens (TTL) loupe.

RDH Elite loupe for hygienists

Also new from Orascoptic at the New York Meeting was the RDH Elite loupe for hygienists.

“It’s the first hygiene loupe we’ve ever designed,” Jacobson said. “Hygienists wear their loupes all day, so they need something that is comfortable on their face, doesn’t weight them down and provides good support so their neck dos not have any pain.”

It was designed by a team of hygienists to give a better overall ergonomic feel, Jacobson said. It’s ideal for facial protection, she said, and the frame design is light and customizable. You can even change the color, she said.

According to product information supplied by Orascoptic, the RDH Elite encompasses an optimal field width and depth recommended for dental hygiene professionals. Its optics deliver a crisp image with edge-to-edge clarity throughout the entire field of view, the company said, and a high-definition resolution also assists in distinguishing periodontal probe markings during pocket depth readings.

Taking overall comfort into account, the RDH Elite frame sports an adjustable nose pad and temple tips for a customizable fit. Capitalizing on ever-changing fashion, the frame includes interchangeable temple tips and color emblems for added personalization.

RDH Elite can be configured as a through-the-lens (TTL) or flip-up. Sizes are available in small and regular.

Orascoptic recently consolidated its medical-centric brand — Surgical Acuity — under the same Orascoptic moniker. The Surgical Acuity brand will be phased out by the end of the year, at which time the single Orascoptic brand will be aligned with both dental and medical markets.

The logo also pays tribute to the company’s core product lines by incorporating colors that represent magnification (blue), illumination (yellow) and ergonomics (green).
