New High Definition Imaging (HDI) illumination technology from Designs for Vision utilizes an advanced photonic configuration that produces a new standard in clinical LED illumination. HDI collects the light produced by a light-emitting diode and optically focuses it into the oral cavity. This patent-pending technology provides evenly focused illumination with the quality of fiber-optic illumination and the benefits of a lightweight portable LED headlight. Headlights with HDI technology provide 45 percent more light into the oral cavity than similar non-HDI headlights.
HDI headlights are available in wired and wireless configurations so clinicians can choose the platform that best suits their needs. The wired Micro HDI system is the lightest and brightest configuration, while the Mini WireLess HDI is cordless and untethered.
The LED DayLite Micro HDI headlight provides uniform light distribution and weighs 0.6 ounces. The Micro power pack is the smallest and lightest headlight power pack (2.5 oz.) and uses a standard USB connection. The power pack operates with a one-touch button that can be activated with the user’s elbow. The first touch produces high-intensity (60,000 lux) light and the second touch provides medium intensity (34,000 lux.) A complete system includes two power packs; each can operate up to nine hours with a full charge and takes three hours to recharge.
The LED DayLite WireLess Mini HDI is cordless and self-contained, using HDI technology to provide bright illumination (27,000 lux) with uniform light distribution. The rechargeable batteries slip into the headlight housing and the complete system weighs 1 oz. The Mini WireLess HDI is a modular design that can attach to multiple pairs of loupes or safety glasses. The complete unit includes three rechargeable lithium ion batteries and charging cradle. Two batteries can be independently charged at the same time, allowing for a quick swap of batteries.
