Acteon North America has released the U_USB 2.0, its second-generation, OEM-style intraoral camera docking station for the OEM dental chair market.
The new docking station features an updated, modular plug system for connecting the video cables and an updated mini-USB port, all at a reduced price over the previous MU_USB 2.0 product, the company noted.
The Acteon U_USB 2.0 docking stations allow intraoral dental cameras to be installed into a dental chair as integrated equipment. This new-generation unit is USB only, removing memory boards and analog outputs, and reducing the physical size and cost to use the technology by about a third.
Acteon said its docking stations are adaptable to virtually all dental chairs and are available in configurations to accommodate most operatory designs. The U_USB 2.0 docking station is compatible with the Sopro 617, Sopro 717 First, and Sopro Life camera handpieces but is not compatible with the Sopro 717 Shade camera handpiece.
