The PLUS Family includes the wireless Butterfly EVO+ and the wired Orchid+, designed to provide high-output illumination for dental and orthodontic professionals.
Admetec has announced the release of the PLUS Family, a new series of lightweight headlight attachments designed specifically for high-magnification loupes. The line includes two new models: the Butterfly EVO+ and the Orchid+.
Butterfly EVO+ Wireless Illumination
The Butterfly EVO+ is a wireless headlight that delivers up to 140,000 lux with a focused 95 mm beam at a 500 mm working distance. It weighs 29 grams with its battery pack and provides up to 4.5 hours of continuous runtime.
“Clinicians who know the Butterfly will feel right at home: the same touch-sensitive controls and two intensity settings,” says Dr Roger Serrano, a dental surgeon in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico, and an early user of the products, in a release. “What’s changed is the output. Even at the same setting and with the same loupes, the EVO+ delivers a major improvement in how the light concentrates on the working field.”
Orchid+ Wired Illumination
For clinicians requiring higher output for detailed clinical work, the wired Orchid+ model provides up to 200,000 lux. It features a tighter, controlled beam to illuminate smaller fields. The headlight weighs 11 grams, and its wired battery unit offers up to 25 hours of runtime.
Addressing Ergonomics and Visibility
The headlights are designed to pair with ergonomic loupes, addressing common visibility issues associated with increased magnification. According to a study cited by the company, over 60% of dental professionals experience some form of musculoskeletal discomfort linked to poor posture at work.
“As more dentists and surgeons switch to ergonomic loupes to protect their posture, they’re running into a problem: darker fields from the enhanced magnification,” says David Kotler, head of marketing at Admetec, in a release. “The PLUS Family of headlights fixes this problem. Now there is no compromising; users can experience both comfort and the appropriate amount of illumination and magnification.”
Availability
The PLUS Family is currently available for purchase through Admetec’s North American distributing partner, Andau Medical.
“Admetec is the leading innovator in loupes and lighting worldwide, and we are excited to bring the PLUS Family to North America,” says Sandi Wright, chief executive officer of Andau Medical, in a release. “We know these lights will be very well received by our dental, hygiene and surgical customers.”
