Orascoptic introduces Freedom, dental industry’s first cordless LED headlight

After introducing the first LED light system to the dental market in 2005, Orascoptic, a true pioneer in lighting technology, is once again bringing ground breaking innovation to the marketplace to provide superior visualization with – the Freedom “cordless” LED headlight.

Responding to practitioner concerns that current LED cables are both cumbersome and unreliable, Orascoptic has developed the industry’s first light system that does not employ belt-packs, long electrical cables, or buttons. The benefits of the new Freedom system include:

• No More Cumbersome Cords-Lightweight battery pods that connect to the temple arms of the loupe, rather than heavy belt-packs employed by traditional LED systems. By moving power to the loupe itself, the Freedom system eliminates the issue with long dangling electrical cords that are prone to getting caught on chairs, doorknobs, and cabinets in the dental office.
• Easy to Use-Innovative capacitive touch technology eliminates the need for any buttons, knobs, or switches, but more importantly allows the practitioner to control the light while holding instruments in both hands.
• Easy to Clean and Maintain-Capacitive touch also eliminates bacteria traps associated with traditional light system controls, making the Freedom easy to sanitize and maintain.
• Comfort-Unique weight-neutralizing counter-balance between the battery pods and the headlight relieves pressure on the nose caused by the light and telescopes.
• Powerful Visualization-variable illumination up to 4,000 foot candles
• Compatibility to over 99% of TTL Loupes-A robust yet innovatively simple universal mounting clip securely fastens the lightweight headlight to virtually any TTL loupe on the market.

By eliminating belt-packs, cables, and buttons, this latest innovation from Orascoptic has established a new standard for LED headlight design as the company continues to strive to provide the dental community with superior visualization.
