New High Resolution Binocular Loupes from Riester for Surgical, Dental and Veterinary Professionals


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, October 20, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Riester is now offering a selection of high performance binocular loupes designed for surgical, dental and veterinary professionals. The loupes help to improve working posture, reduce eye strain and provide a clearer working view.

The SuperVu Galilean loupes are available in 2.0x, 2.5x and 3x magnification and working distances from 34cm to 50cm. Each lens can be focused individually and features superior depth of field that allows the user to move without the area being viewed going out of focus. In addition, Riester also offer high resolution SuperVu Hi-Res Galilean Loupes at 3x magnification with a 15% increased field of view and perfectly flat field from edge to edge. Made from an ultra-lightweight metal alloy, SuperVu loupes are stylish yet tough, and a 'flip-up' facility allows them to be moved out of the way when magnification is not required.

The XL Advantage loupes offer higher magnification for advanced surgical procedures at 3.5x, 4.5x and 5.5x magnification. The XL precision lenses are treated with a non-reflecting protective coating to achieve an excellent image and high prismatic quality ensures true image.

Customers have the choice of attaching binocular loupes to either the light Riester spectacle frame or the brow band system. In addition, Riester offers the K-LED brow lamp that provides homogeneous light with a brightness of up to 18000 Lux. The 3W LED is coaxially attached to the frame and operates with a Li-ion battery pack enabling continuous operation of up to 4 hours.

Magnification is now recognised as an essential tool for the surgical, dental and veterinary professional. Patients often also feel more comfortable and at ease with the increased personal space provided by the greater working distance.
