It features a “gumdrop” miniature light that delivers a high-qual- ity focused beam for better visibility, as well as advanced “Capacitive Touch” con- trols that enable easy adjustment. XV1: World’s first and only wireless loupe and headlight in one The XV1 is the world’s first and only wire- less loupe and headlight in one, providing superior visualization through superior magnification and illumination, accord- ing to the company. This new innovation seamlessly combines Orascoptic’s award- winning loupes with its award-winning headlight, and enables dental profession- als to deliver superior procedural out- comes with greater ease and less strain on their bodies. The XV1 features a light- weight and completely cable- less design; and by removing the heavy and bulky belt packs of past headlights, the XV1 is ergonomi- cally designed for comfort, function and style. All electronics are completely con- tained within the custom-built frame it- self, so there are no visible wires or cables. Rechargeable batteries power the XV1 for a full day's work, delivering up to 4,000 foot-candles of light. XV1 features ”Capacitive Touch” controls on both temple arms to eliminate the need for knobs or buttons that can be bacteria traps. The lightweight counter-balance design en- ables clinicians to practice in comfort all day long, delivering superior patient care. The Orascoptic XV1, left, is the world's first and only wireless loupe/headlight in one.
