Ivoclar Vivadent announces the introduction of the Odyssey® 2.4G Diode Laser for soft-tissue applications. Featuring a revolutionary wireless power control, the Odyssey 2.4G is the most compact, portable, and affordable soft-tissue laser in dentistry to date. Powering the design of the Odyssey 2.4G is a passion for better dentistry made possible through the use of the most sophisticated, precise and minimally invasive technology available. With a laser wavelength of 810+/-20 nm, the Odyssey 2.4G has a high affinity for soft tissue, making it an invaluable tool for everyday soft-tissue applications. Specifically, using the Odyssey 2.4G diode laser enhances conventional dentistry by enabling clinicians to sculpt gingival tissue, alleviating the pain of soft tissue lesions, achieve improved visual and mechanical access to margin preparations, and create hemostasis for better isolation.
Satisfying clinicians’ long-standing need for a flexible, compact and precise piece of equipment is the Odyssey 2.4G’s first-ever wireless power control. This feature allows greater flexibility to position the diode laser in the operatory, without the hassle of another cord in an already limited space. What’s more, the simplified control panel now provides 4 convenient settings for simple programming of the clinician’s 3 most commonly used settings, thereby offering true ease-of-use. In addition, the adjustable parameters can be used in the manual setting.
Based on the latest and finest solid state diode laser technology, the Odyssey 2.4G features precise power output for accurate application and consistent wavelength output for smooth, precise and clean tissue modification. It provides two output modes (e.g., continuous wave and pulsed wave), as well as an aiming beam intensity control that utilizes a laser pointer for guidance when needed.
The small footprint (5.5" x 6.25" x 8.75") and weight (approximately 5.5 pounds) of the Odyssey 2.4G help conserve valuable counter space and facilitate portability among operatories. Additionally, the retractable optical fiber reduces the costs associated with accidental fiber breakage.
From a value standpoint, the Odyssey 2.4G Diode Laser offers clinicians a significant return on their investment by enabling them to increase their productivity through the use of a more efficient technology. Routine soft-tissue procedures can be performed more predictably using the Odyssey 2.4G, while other revenue-producing procedures can be added to the practice’s list of services.
