There’s LED. And there’s LED^HQ

Regardless of the type of medical examination, nothing is more important than an unambiguous diagnosis – as early as possible and with maximum precision. And that requires the best illumination possible. LEDs are establishing themselves in more and more applications, but not all LEDs are created equal.

With LEDs there are big quality differences. HEINE has set a new standard which maintains that only the best is good enough, from the selection of materials to processing, from light intensity to dimmability, and from thermal management to a colour rendering index as high as possible. That’s what we call LED in HEINE Quality – or LED^HQ.

Illumination

Every HEINE instrument with LED is developed in such a way that it delivers optimal illumination edge to edge without distracting reflections for the application in question. Depending on the application area, the instrument is either preset or the brightness can be adjusted steplessly from 3–100%. This feature is patented since early 2018 for all dimmable BETA LEDHQ instrument heads.

Colour rendering

The colour rendering index (CRI) shows how accurately colours are portrayed compared with daylight. HEINE LEDHQ instruments achieve exceptionally high CRI values to ensure that the user sees the colours as they are during each examination – for absolutely reliable and precise diagnosis.

Operating life

Thanks to a special thermal management the LEDHQ always operates in the optimal temperature range. This guarantees consistent performance and an unlimited operating life. That’s why our LEDHQ instruments are virtually maintenance-free, as there’s no longer a need to replace the light source.

Review of "ProfessionalopinionabouttheHEINE® LoupeLight2with HR Binocular Loupes (2.5 magnification / 420 mm working distance)"

“Loupes are part of my daily work and are a standard tool in all areas of dental medicine. The HEINE LoupeLight2 offers optimal magnification and a very good illumination for preparing crowns, performing root canal treatments, placing tooth fillings and for periodontitis treatments, prophylaxis, implantology as well as oral surgery.”

Due to its features the HEINE LoupeLight 2 can be optimally used in dental medicine. The 2.5 magnification of the HEINE HR Binocular Loupes offers a large field of view and allows a larger overview than comparable competitor products. Two to three teeth can be seen at the same time. The loupe allows a very clear image, good depth of field and offers clear advantages in particular during surgery or implant procedures.

Another advantage in its daily use is the fact that the optics can simply be flipped up with the sterilisable lever. In this way the whole jaw can be seen in the overview, whereas the illumination stays focused on the oral cavity. At the same time the glasses protect the eyes. This function has proved its worth especially when grinding teeth and performing implantations, where the whole oral cavity has to be seen. While the brightness level is maintained you can assess the alignment of teeth stumps and the correct axial inclination of multiple implants. This flexibility is a major difference between the HEINE LoupeLight2 and glasses with fully integrated loupes, where you have to tilt your head to be able to look under or above your glasses. Taking the glasses off is not recommended due to hygienic and safety reasons.

The flip up optics of the HEINE Loupe makes the system a bit heavier – whereas the advantages of the swivelable optics clearly outweigh the higher weight. In addition, the system can be set up for different examiners and is therefore transferable.

When wearing a face mask integrated loupes often fog up by breathing air. The individual adjustable loupes of the HEINE LoupeLight 2 are located outside the glasses and do there- fore not fog up.

Shadow-free illumination and true colour temperature are special characteristics of the LoupeLight 2 and make it very comfortable for the eyes. The illumination provides good colour rendering, thus ensuring a more accurate diagnosis and less eye fatigue. This is what sets it apart from most other LED illuminations, which produce a light that is far too bright and white. The brightness is continuously adjustable and can therefore be adjusted to every application situation.

The use of the HEINE Polarisation Filter allows a very good view, in particular for periodontitis treatments, piezo surgery and when using ultrasound scanners. Water reflexions are largely reduced but also reflexions from blood, salvia and the instruments used. By using polarisation filters tissue can be better assessed, blood vessels can be clearly seen, and the reduction of mucous membrane reflexions allow you a fatigue-free, more accurate work, especially during long procedures.

When using the HEINE polarisation filters, the brightness of the LoupeLight 2 decreases slightly compared to use without a filter, but is still outstanding. Compared to the predecessor model, the LoupeLight 2 shows a clear optimisation.

The new battery HEINE mPack mini is very comfortable and practical to carry in the belt pouch due to its small size and light weight. Despite the reduced size, the battery power is sufficient for the entire work day. Conveniently, the battery can be charged using a standard USB cable. The new connection cable is also very advantageous from the user’s point of view: If the cable is worn out by intensive use, it is simply replaced.
