How to Level-Up Your Loupes

Loupes afford many benefits for dental professionals and surgeons alike. In addition to providing comfortable working positions for your back and neck, ergonomic loupes can transform the way you work, providing a magnified view which ensures greater accuracy, and subsequently more efficiency.

But did you know there are a variety of complementary accessories that can take your loupes, and your work, to the next level?

Lights

An essential accessory for your loupes, lights provide improved visibility, and subsequently, increased accuracy. Whether cordless or wired, the right light can help reduce eye strain, further enhance the ergonomics of your working posture, and ensure consistent brightness levels throughout your procedures. Admetec even offers a light that’s integrated with a camera.

Cameras

Using a camera provides the ability to visualize the often intricate and complex findings that take place during a patient’s visit or procedure. For dental professionals, using a camera allows you to explain, and even enlarge, issues in finer detail. This process of “co-diagnosis” can help to build patient trust and position your practice as an innovative authority in care.

Cameras also allow professionals to document their procedures for subsequent review, future training, and even legal purposes.

Nose Pads & Side Shields

Since medical and dental professionals often wear loupes for extended periods of time, sturdy nose pads help evenly distribute the weight of the loupes across the nose bridge. This helps to reduce pressure points and discomfort.

Side shields protect the eyes from potential harmful particles, debris, and bodily fluids. This is important in both dental and surgical environments where splashes or sharp objects could cause injury.

Laser Inserts

Designed to provide protection based on a specific wavelength and type of laser, laser inserts are protective clip-in filters that fit securely between your eyes and your loupes. Admetec offers laser inserts made from lightweight, durable materials less prone to fogging.
