Ergonomic loupes and true-color LED headlights

Loupes and LED headlights have become essential vision-enhancement devices for dental professionals. However, the majority of custom-built loupes are not ergonomically fitted and have become the main cause for chronic pain in the neck and shoulders. Improperly designed LED headlights can also cause early onset macular degeneration. Wearing loupes with improperly designed or ill-fitted nose pads is simply not comfortable and reduces the ability to fine-tune fit and vision.

SurgiTel was founded in 1992 as a division of General Scientific Corp. to provide clinicians with ergonomically correct loupes and headlights. Since its founding, SurgiTel has invented a series of essential technologies for ergonomic loupes and true-color LED lights. The company offers many magnification options because the requirement of magnification power varies according to working distance; longer working distances require higher magnification powers. SurgiTel offers three magnification lines: micro (2.5x, 3.0x, 3.5x, 4.5x), compact (2.5x, 3.0x, 3.5x, 4.5x) and pro (5.5x, 6.5x, 8.0x). Clinicians can choose any magnification power needed for their procedures.

All SurgiTel loupes are ergonomically fitted according to working postures and users’ facial features thanks to patented frame designs and patent-pending interchangeable custom nose pad options. Users of traditional through-the-lens (TTL) or front-lens-mounted (FLM) loupes who have developed chronic pain in the neck and shoulders have eliminated their pain with SurgiTel’s TTL and FLM loupes.

SurgiTel’s custom nose pads eliminate several issues related to wearing loupes, including weight distribution over the nose surface, eyelashes brushing against loupe optics, and fogging. Properly fitted, custom nose pads help clinicians wear loupes comfortably.

True-color LED headlights are an essential companion product of vision-enhancement magnification systems. SurgiTel’s true-color LED headlights not only offer color accuracy but also are safe for the eyes. Surgi­Tel offers traditional LED lights, Eclipse LED with touch-free activation and wireless LEDs.
