Dental technology distributor Mid America Dental Sales has announced the launch of its new x-ray device, the X4 Handheld. This technology is designed with a Carbon Nano Tube (CNT) X-ray tube to boost efficiency all while maintaining a lightweight, 4lb build. CNT tube technology is said to be more streamlined than standard filament vacuum x-ray tubes, according to a press release from the company.

Along with the CNT tube, the X4 Handheld also features a protective scatter shield that exceeds 0.5 mm Pb (lead equivalency) for user protection, per the press release. Benefitting the practitioner, this shield ensure maximum safety. The beam itself is a fixed 70kV/2mA with a 0.4 mm focal spot. Its 4lb structure is designed to reduce arm fatigue, improving the ergonomic experience for the clinician. The x-ray is indicated for a variety of procedures, but is especially useful for clinicians who perform implants or have pediatric patients or patients with more specific needs.

The X4 Handheld is said to be a power-efficient device, reportedly capturing up to 800 images per a single charge. The battery is also said to be smaller than most standard batteries, contributing to the lightweight solution. To learn more about this x-ray, visit the website here.
