Why design a dental X-ray holder?

1

Stable hold

A clamping opening keeps the X-ray element in place during the exposure.

2

Designed for the mouth

Shape and flexibility are designed to make it comfortable and easy to handle.

3

Support platform

A platform gives a defined, repeatable support on each use.

4

Dental product

Conceived as a product for use in the dental clinic, ready for a later validation phase.

“A holder for the mouth has to be flexible enough to be comfortable and firm enough to hold well. Finding that balance in the shape was the design challenge. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
