Ortholux™ LED Curing Light
For fast orthodontic curing times and the convenience of untethered portability, your best choice today is the Ortholux™ LED Curing Light from 3M Unitek.
With the Ortholux LED light, there’s no cord connecting the handpiece to a light source. There’s no bulky equipment to get in the way or impede chairside mobility. And yet, with a small handheld unit, you have curing times for orthodontic bonds that are typically twice as fast as traditional halogen light sources.
Advanced LED Technology is the Key
The Ortholux LED curing light uses one blue LED (Light Emitting Diode) that emits light in the 430-480 nm range at an intensity of 1000 mW/cm2. The light is optimized specifically for the polymerization of materials used in orthodontic bonding. With LED technology, there is no bulb to lose intensity or wear out. Heat build-up is minimal, so there is no need for a fan which uses battery power and adds weight. Microprocessor-based circuitry assures consistent light output and effective performance throughout the power range of the internal rechargeable battery.
Convenience for You and the Patient
The Ortholux LED light is remarkably easy to handle and use. The handpiece is compact, sleek and weighs less than eight ounces. The light guide rotates 360 degrees, making positioning easy for you, and quick curing times enhance patient comfort and shorten chair time.
