Lightweight, high-def 2.5x loupe

Orascoptic, a leader in vision solutions for dental and medical professionals, recently released its HDL 2.5x — a loupe with micro-sized optics that delivers lightweight comfort and the visual clarity Orascoptic is known for. According to the company, unlike other small telescopes, the HDL does not compromise on field size. The field depth of the HDL rivals that of the Orascoptic award-winning HiResTM 2.5x, yet the innovative optical design is 25 percent smaller than its predecessor.

The HDL design uses an elongated bezel to deliver steep declination angles for improved ergonomics. Each loupe also offers high-definition resolution, creating an enhanced visual acuity for the clinician and better procedural outcomes for the patient, according to the company.

Because the loupe was developed to provide a generous field of view, clinicians are able to easily transition instruments into the viewing field, which may help to reduce examination and procedural times, the company reports. The compact size of the HDL 2.5x also provides significant viewing space above the telescope, making it easier to read charts and consult with patients without having to remove the loupe.

While designed for performance, the loupe’s brushed metallic finish and small profile also provide an esthetic appeal to many users. The loupe is available on all Orascoptic frame models and can be configured as a through-the-lens or a flip-up that employs a new advanced ergonomic hinge.
