The EzRay Air is a lightweight, handheld portable X-ray system designed to improve diagnostic mobility in the dental operatory. It is notably recognized for its “Carbon Nano Tube” (CNT) technology, which allows for a significantly lighter build and more stable radiation output compared to traditional portable units.
Key Features
-
Carbon Nano Tube (CNT) Technology: Unlike traditional X-ray tubes that use a filament, CNT technology allows for instant and precise exposure control, reducing the weight of the internal components and improving the battery’s efficiency.
-
Ultralight Design: It is one of the lightest handheld units on the market, weighing approximately 1.5 kg to 1.8 kg, which minimizes wrist fatigue for the clinician during high-volume imaging.
-
Double Scatter Shielding: Features an internal lead lining and an external “backscatter” shield to protect the operator from secondary radiation, ensuring high safety standards for handheld use.
-
Intuitive Interface: Equipped with a digital display and pre-programmed settings for different tooth types (molars, incisors, etc.) and patient sizes (adult/pediatric).
-
Long-Lasting Battery: High-capacity lithium-polymer battery capable of hundreds of exposures on a single charge.
Clinical Advantages
-
Enhanced Mobility: Perfect for multi-operatory clinics, pediatric patients who may be frightened by large wall-mounted units, or for use in mobile dentistry and outreach programs.
-
Workflow Integration: Allows the clinician to remain in the room with the patient during exposure (following local safety protocols), which is particularly helpful for stabilizing sensors in patients with high gag reflexes.
-
Consistent Image Quality: The stable tube voltage (typically 60kV) and current (2.5mA) provide sharp, high-contrast images compatible with all digital sensors and PSP plates.
