PeriOptixTM, one of the nation’s leading providers of high quality magnification and illumination systems for medical and dental professionals, displayed its systems at the American Dental Association’s 150th Annual Session on September 30 – October 4 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
PeriOptixTM conducted product demonstrations of its magnification and illumination systems to dentists and hygienists. The company showcased its new Flip-Up Loupes - redesigned, rethought and reengineered from hinge to lens. PeriOptixTM new Flip-Up Loupes feature a panoramic lens design with no protruding knobs and a maximized field of vision for unobstructed, effortless over-the-top visibility heretofore found only in custom, through the lens loupes. Also, the declination angle is the steepest in the industry— up to 50-degrees, eliminating hunching, which can cause neck, back and eye strain.
Disinfecting and maintaining crystal clean performance is now easy with the watertight optics, also typically only found on more expensive loupes. Plus, an exclusive feature not available on any other loupe: the PeriOptixTM “Set and Forget” feature for automatically and securely locking in personal settings. That, coupled with the double hinge design, allows optics to smoothly return to your preferred position every time.
All this customized design, and it’s still one of the lightest loupes on the market. Add to that, countless frame options for every size and style and this flip-up takes comfort and innovation to completely new sights.
Booth attendees had the opportunity to utilize PeriOptixTM dental loupes and headlights in a simulated dental operatory. This unique opportunity offered prospective customers the ability to try various magnification levels and working distances that best meet their needs.
“The American Dental Association show is a great venue for us to reach the dentists and hygienists across the country to showcase our innovative loupes and portable headlight systems.” According to PeriOptixTM head of marketing, Roslyn Tholin, “We wanted dentists to forget what they know about flip-ups and see our completely redesigned loupes,” Ms. Tholin said.
The American Dental Association Meeting in Hawaii was the 150th annual session of the American Dental Association and featured advanced programming presented by leading professionals in the field. Dental professionals from all over the United States and abroad acquired the latest information, networked with colleagues, experienced product demonstrations, learned cutting-edge techniques, and earned continuing education credits.
