Leave it to the Pros

I see that Planmeca has just released a new sensor called the ProSensor. I'm not a huge fan of the proprietary cables and boxes that they use, but the sensor seems to have some other nice features. From the press release:

ROSELLE, Illinois--Planmeca USA has introduced a new product in the digital intraoral X-ray field--the Prosensor Digital Imaging System.

The Planmeca ProSensor combines durability with an enhanced functionality, said Bob Pienkowski, president, Planmeca USA.

The ProSensor uses the latest complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology while offering dentists advanced design features that deliver a technologically advanced product.

Pienkowski explained that "the ProSenor was designed to withstand the rigorous use that frequently occurs in a dental office. The cable is strengthened with Kevlar, and inside the cable there are only two wires. This construction has proved extremely durable in testing consisting of bending the cable more than 100,000 times."

The active imaging area of the sensor extends to the whole surface for maximized imaging performance. Hermetically sealed, the sensor can be fully immersed in disinfectant for effective infection control and prevention.

The ProSensor is available in three sizes--0, 1, and 2. Each is easily distinguished from the other with a clear symbol on the magnetic connector, assisting the ease of use.
