The portable MobileX unit can be used at any point in a procedure, and produces significantly less radiation than wall-mount units, ,In dentistry, a successful product is one that’s straightforward, easy to use, and effective. That is one of the prime reasons the
MobileX portable x-ray system from Denterprise has been a game-changing product for many dental practices. The system, which requires no installation or wall reinforcement, is portable—allowing x-rays to be taken in any operatory and at any point in the procedure., ,Just as importantly, it’s easy to use, which has been a key factor for the team at Goldstein Dental Center in Atlanta, GA., ,“When a new assistant joins the practice, there are many things to learn between new dental software and the flow of an office. The simplicity of the MobileX imaging system is one less thing to worry about. If you can take a picture on a camera, you can operate the MobileX system,” said Dr. Jacob Perlow, DMD., ,The MobileX system is ideal for pediatric care, endodontic procedures, oral surgery, and off-site purposes when the operator must be in the room or near the patient during exposure. Patients like the small unit, which is ideal for children and those phobic toward dental visits. Dr. Perlow has used the MobileX system for procedures such as root canals and extractions. “The image quality seems to be equal to that of our wall unit in my other office,” Dr. Perlow said. “With the correct settings in place, it is capable of taking a crystal-clear radiograph.”, , ,
, ,“It gives us the capability to take x-rays anywhere.” ,– Jacob Perlow, DMD, , , ,When Dr. Perlow’s office added a satellite office—without plumbing or an x-ray unit—the team needed a solution that could be implementing quickly and without a giant install. “This small handheld x-ray unit was able to go on day one,” said Dr. Perlow. “It gives us the capability to take x-rays anywhere.”,
, ,The unit, which is extremely lightweight at 4.7 pounds, has a battery life of 400 exposures and is ideal for full-mouth series., ,A DC unit with a 0.4 focal spot, the MobileX uses a Toshiba x-ray tube, the top-quality tube that is used in many wall-mount machines. Producing significantly less radiation than wall-mount units, the MobileX meets all FDA standards for hand-held use. The attached 20cm (8”) cone and lead-infused shield, mandated by most states, protects both the operator and the patient from backscattered x-rays. It’s double lead-shielded housing prevents x-ray leakage from the machine and tube area., ,Dental practitioners save thousands of dollars when equipping their offices with MobileX hand-held x-rays. By eliminating the need for multiple x-ray units, the system helps to declutter operatories. The product is tripod compatible and can also be used on an existing wall mount arm.
