What do you think it has provided to the industry that other headlights had not?
A cordless, lightweight solution that attaches securely to virtually any loupe on the market.
What has been the user experience with the Spark?
Users appreciate the freedom from cords and ease of use.
What’s the ergonomic advantage to the Spark?
I think good lighting is just as important as magnification when it comes to providing the best patient care. Loupe-mounted lights like Spark provide coaxial illumination eliminating shadows in the field of view.
How does it change and improve the dental workflow?
Door knobs are the enemy! Clinicians can move throughout the office without that pesky cord getting in the way.
