Radii-Cal CX
Collimated LED curing light has a lightweight, ergonomic design and built-in features PEACE that make it easy to use while ensuring a complete cure
Apart from night owls, most of us feel our highest energy levels at the beginning of the day, when our brains are fresh and alert. But soon enough the workday kicks in, bringing with it complicated procedures, back-to-back emergencies, and workplace drama, all of which slowly drain our energy—not to mention our patience. No stranger to this concept is the curing light, whose power often diminishes over the full depth of a restoration. This can be problematic in deeper restorations, as there is a chance the material will not fully cure.
Collimated Beam
Combatting this issue is SDI’s Radii-Cal CX. It features a collimated beam that delivers curing uniformity across all depths for a fast and predictable cure.
Power doesn’t always mean heat. This is especially true for curing lights, which need adequate heat transfer to protect their LED lenses. Otherwise, damaging heat can adversely affect clinical performance. RadiiCal CX has heat sink dissipation technology that keeps the unit cool and allows for consecutive cures without the need for a mandatory cool-down. It also helps prolong the life of the unit.
Light as a Feather
Radii-Cal CX features an ergonomic and lightweight design that maximizes comfort. The handpiece weighs just 144 grams and can be held either in a pencil or pistol grip to minimize hand and arm fatigue. When curing upper or lower quadrants, a finger grip indentation provides added ergonomic support. To charge the curing light, simply snap it into its docking station. A green light will illuminate when the unit is fully charged.
Smart Operation
The Radii Cal CX's built-in features include a sensitivity protection ramp, which means that during the first 5 seconds of curing, the light output energy will gradually increase. This soft-start polymerization minimizes stress between the restoration and dentin-enamel junction—reducing marginal gaps in the restoration and decreasing postop sensitivity.
Additionally, a built-in radiometer that’s calibrated to the collimated lens confirms the energy output of the unit so curing power is never in question.
