DEPTH OF FIELD SurgiTel provides a deep field to allow you to work with comfort and flexibility.

IMPORTANT - EYE PRESCRIPTIONS If you have any kind of eye prescription or correction (e.g. distance or reading), this must be used with your loupes in order for them to perform as specified.

SurgiTelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ergonomic designs minimise the head tilt angle by providing the best declination angle.

If this looks like your posture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; BEWARE!

SurgiTel frames provide extra comfort and balance when using attachable headlights.

Before launching their own line of ergonomic loupes in 1992, SurgiTel conducted extensive research. The results, along with direct customer feedback, revealed that traditional surgical loupes caused clinicians to work with harmful neck postures, leading to muscle fatigue and pain. This information led SurgiTel to patent multiple designs that allow medical and dental professionals to work in greater comfort as well as see with the highest degree of optical precision.

SURGITEL’S PATENTED ERGONOMIC LOUPE DESIGNS SurgiTel holds multiple patents on its loupe designs, all of which were created to improve the comfort, and ultimately the vision, of the wearer.

SurgiTel’s patents on their ergonomic loupes include: • Vertical Slide Adjustment on Front-Lens Mounted Loupes: This slide feature allows you to adjust your Front-Lens-Mounted (FLM) loupes vertically as well as horizontally. This double adjustment allows for you to precisely align your FLM loupe, improving both your neck posture and visual image. • Aero Frame ‘Tilt’ when used with Through The Lens Loupes (TTL) : The more a loupe design requires you to tip your head up or down to see your working field, the quicker muscle fatigue will set in. SurgiTel’s patented Aero Frame “Tilt” feature on your TTL loupes increases the declination angle, allowing you to see more with minimum head movement and work in greater comfort. • Micro (3.0x and 3.5x) and Compact Prism Designs (4.5x to 8.0x) for Higher Magnification Users: For users who require magnifications form 3.5x - 8.0x, our shorter and lighter prisms allow you to work without the heaviness and discomfort associated with larger and longer prisms without sacrificing optical quality.

SurgiTel’s parent company, General Scientific Corporation (GSC), can trace its optical history back eight decades. Since the 1930’s, GSC has served a variety of industries with its high quality optics for clinical, aerospace, commercial and scientific applications. SurgiTel’s expertise in optics means that they design and manufacture the best loupes on the market today. SurgiTel loupes feature: • Superior Loupe Lenses and Coatings: SurgiTel uses only proprietary high grade, high-density, multi-coated lenses for their loupes. High-density materials allow their lenses to be thinner and lighter than those made with standard lens material. Their lenses also have multiple coatings to make them scratch-resistant and antireflective, allowing for longer lens life and better vision. • High-Definition Magnification: Unlike other manufacturers, who reserve high-definition magnification for a separate, premium line, all of SurgiTel’s loupes are manufactured with high definition technology. High-definition magnification means you are empowered to see and work your best.

MicroLine Range: Magnification precision at its finest The Micro250 and Micro300, Prism Micro EVK300 and Prism Micro EVK350 SurgiTel’s award winning micro designs can be worn comfortably all day even with the added weight of an illumination system.

MICRO 300 on OAKLEY RADAR MICRO EVK 350 on OAKLEY RADAR

See, work and look your best - As with all technology, SurgiTel’s loupe designs have been improving over time with significant reduction in weight and increases in adjustability, allowing for a more comfortable fit. Now, with over 20 years in manufacturing vision and ergonomic systems, SurgiTel have engineered their most comfortable magnification system to date. These magnification designs were centred on the creation of a loupe that could be worn all day without the discomfort of more traditional systems. It has become more evident that magnification users have recognised the importance of not only wearing a loupe but adding illumination as well. It is crucial that the foundation of a magnification system be designed as light weight as possible. Matched with one of SurgiTel’s exclusive Oakley frames the Micro product line creates a fantastic combination of magnification, comfort, and style. • Multi coated HD glass lenses in oculars • Lightest loupe in clinical magnification: The weight of the TTL Micro250 on the Oakley Half Jacket is only 32.6 grams. • Available in both Through-the-Lens and FLM (Flip-up) • Exceptional depth of field and field of view

MICRO 250 FLM ON OAKLEY RADAR

SurgiTel’s Micro 250/300 frontlens-mounted (FLM) loupes are the perfect fit for the practitioner looking for a comfortable level of working magnification, expanded field sizes and greater depths-of-field. SurgiTel’s FLM loupes are lightweight without sacrificing optical quality, can be used with different frames and can comfortably be used with one of SurgiTel’s clip-on headlights and/or digital surgical camera systems. • Lightweight & Comfortable: The micro series is the lightest full featured loupe. The significantly reduced size of the micro loupe provides both increased peripheral vision and a reduced load on the bridge of the nose.

• Depth of Field: Like all SurgiTel loupes the micro series provide exceptional depth of field, allowing for maintenance of a healthy upright posture.

• Aero Frame: This high quality, lightweight titanium frame achieves an angle of declination in excess of 45-degrees which has never been done before. The ergonomic design allows the wearer to sit or stand in a more upright position, reducing neck tension. • Oakley Frames: Exclusive SurgiTel and Oakley partnership provides the best in comfort and style. • ErgoVision HD Optics: The highest quality, highdefinition glass optics provide an exceptionally bright, crisp image.

• Best Lenses: Tests developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) prove that Oakley’s High Definition Optics® lenses enable you to see clearer, sharper images and without the distortion of ordinary lenses that can exhibit undesirable optical errors. With HDO®, you see everything exactly where it is, not shifted like the view from inferior lenses. Additionally Oakley® lenses pass ANSI high mass and high velocity impact tests with flying colours, providing you with excellent protection. • Lens Clarity Test: Draw three lines close together. Now back up until the lines blur together. With inferior lenses, that blurring happens at a much shorter distance, thus reducing your available range of sharp vision.

SurgiTel‘s Odyssey LED headlights All SurgiTel Headlights offer users shadow-free images, excellent colour rendering and coaxial adjustment mount adaptability to SurgiTel and other telescopes, frames or headbands.

Micro LED The SurgiTel Micro 3 Watt LED is the latest generation of portable LED headlight systems offering high-quality, uniform beams using the SurgiTel patent-pending beam forming optics. The Micro headlight is currently the lightest headlight in the SurgiTel range and was designed as the perfect compliment to the MicroLine Loupes. The light provides the user with a beam which is very uniform and exhibits no colour change over the range of the depth of field of loupes. It should be noted that both the colour and beam uniformity of other brands of LED headlights

which use a single lens display changes over the depth of field of the loupes. Engineered with the latest generation of Lithium-Ion Quick-Charge batteries, the SurgiTel Micro battery provides up to 9 hours of regulated power. Built into the battery unit the SurgiTel Micro has stepless light intensity control adjustment. This allows the user to have precise control over the brightness of the headlight allowing for the maximum detail to be viewed. Over-illuminating a reflective surface, such as teeth, causes the image to become “blown out”, resulting in the loss of highlight detail.

A further unique feauture of SurgiTel’s headlight systems is the ability to charge the light unit while in use. With two batteries users can have up to 18 hours of power.

In addition to its light weight optics the Odyssey Mini HI LED is powered by a compact, long lasting Lithium Ion Mini Battery Pack that together provide the right light to help you see and work at your best.
