New Zeon® LED portable headlight for loupes
Orascoptic® introduces a new portable “high-definition” light system. The new Zeon LED Portable light emits an even brighter and whiter light than a standard halogen portable system. It provides up to 2,200 foot candles of power. Combine this with an Orascoptic high-definition Loupe - HiRes™ or HiRes Plus - for maximum visual acuity and depth-of-field. Now you can combine freedom of movement in your operating space with a high-quality portable light option.
The tiny battery is approximately 3 x 3 x 1.5 inches and mounts easily to your belt in a nylon protective casing. The bezel weighs in at a minimal 20 grams (.07 oz.), adding virtually no weight to your loupe system. Dial the light to your choice of six intensity levels to prevent premature composite cures.

New everStick®A&O glass fiber reinforcement
Stick Tech Ltd. launches a new pre-impregnated glass fiber for orthodontic use. The new everStickA&O is indicated for passive orthodontic anchorage. An anchorage unit made of everStickA&O is bonded to teeth using an adhesive bonding technique, bonding perfectly to enamel. When you want to use an anchorage for tooth movement such as molar uprighting, incisor intrusion, or space closure, it’s easy to join the teeth even if they are not initially aligned. Bond tubes, brackets, or hooks directly onto the anchorage bar or unit to achieve any type of tooth movement.
everStickA&O is made from glass fibers in a polymer/resin gel matrix, combined to form an easy-to-handle, unidirectional fiber bundle. The bundle is both malleable and tacky - before polymerization - so it will closely adapt to the surface of teeth during placement. The IPN matrix structure also makes it possible to reactivate fiber surfaces, for example, during repair.
