Commitment to Safety

We understand that safety is paramount when clinicians treat their patients. To keep operators safe, the NOMAD Pro 2 has two highly devised shielding features. A unique, lead-infused acrylic shield protects the operator from direct and scatter radiation while an internal proprietary housing encases the X-ray tube to block radiation leakage. When the NOMAD Pro 2 is used as directed, these shields create a “safe zone” for the operator throughout the acquisition process.

Cost Savings and Maximum Operating Time

With NOMAD Pro 2, there’s an immediate cost savings over multiple operatories that would need wall-mount units. With your new handheld system, you can save on the cost and time of special construction, wiring, and installation. Safety literature and training videos are provided, and your NOMAD Pro 2 is ready for use right out of the box.

Focus on Image Quality

We know that you want to provide the best diagnosis for your patients, and the best diagnosis starts with the best image quality. You can depend on NOMAD Pro 2 to help produce sharp, clear radiographic images. NOMAD Pro 2 utilizes the latest in X-ray technology—a 0.4 mm focal spot plus a 60kV DC X-ray generator that consistently delivers precise, repeatable exposures.

 

Efficient Workflow Advantages

 

Freedom is in your hands with the ability to take an X-ray anywhere out of the office and in any treatment area in your practice. Portable and easy to use, the NOMAD Pro 2 allows you to move freely between operatories and to remain chairside when it really counts. This innovatively designed unit allows you to stay with your patient during the procedure, especially with fearful or challenging patients. No more leaving the room to trigger exposures only to return to find that the X-ray head has drifted or that your patient has moved necessitating a retake of the radiograph. From changing image capture settings to exposing the X-ray, you can be there by your patient’s side creating a positive radiographic experience for you both.

 

Leading Expansion Across the Nation

Proudly assembled in the U.S.A., the NOMAD was the first handheld to the market and continues to be the world’s leader in intraoral X-ray units. With our past successes and award-winning design, NOMAD continues to be widely accepted in this rapidly growing area of dental technology. Using vital safety and engineering research data, our company has been instrumental in moving this technology forward so that dentists can have the freedom that NOMAD products offer.

NOMAD PRO 2 Innovative Features

For the freedom and power to image in any location that also provides your busy office with safety, efficiency, and reliability, look to the KaVo NOMAD Pro 2 for your intraoral X-ray needs.


Industry-Leading Battery Technology

KAVO NOMAD PRO 2 leading battery technology
Incorporating 30% more capacity than in previous models, the KaVo NOMAD Pro 2 utilizes premier battery technology that provides a more consistently reliable, long-lasting battery.
 
This higher-capacity battery is designed to keep pace with the demands of busy dental practices and workflow, even in heavy usage. The battery cells, similar to those used in electric vehicles, are constructed of the latest advanced materials.
 
The battery charger has been newly developed for maximum charging power to yield the most efficient use of the system.

 

Inventive Ergonomic Design

KaVo NOMAD PRO 2 Ergonomic Design
Ergonomics was foremost in the redesign of the new KaVo NOMAD Pro 2. Based on customer feedback the engineering team also created a more secure grip for users with smaller hands.
 
Ergonomically designed, the handset enables the clinician with the flexibility needed to effortlessly integrate the KaVo NOMAD Pro 2 into their daily workflow. The handle base is sized appropriately so that it is more stable in your palm, while the entire handle’s circumference is proportionately designed for a better fit of the human hand.
 
The slight tapered shape from the top allows the handle to not only attain this better fit; it also becomes more steady and comfortable to use.
 
The unit overall is much more balanced and is easily cradled to allow the operator to quickly make setting adjustments and changes in sensor position.

 

Intuitive User Interface

More than 30 independent studies and evaluations attest to the safety of the NOMAD Handheld X-ray Systems. Find here an extract:
 

“The results of this comparison of dental staff doses between the NOMAD handheld intraoral X-ray system and conventional wall-mounted intraoral X-ray systems indicate that the staff doses for the handheld systems are significantly less than those for wall-mounted systems. Consequently, there should be no concern about the use of the NOMAD handheld dental intraoral X-ray system.” 1

“Our data have shown that the NOMAD presents risks that are no greater than with standard dental radiographic units to the patient or operator, and the measured doses are well below recommended levels.” 2

“ The NOMAD is a reliable, versatile, portable X-ray unit that meets radiation safety standards and has multiple applications for forensic, field, and humanitarian dentistry.” 3

“This investigation suggests that the NOMAD handheld X-ray unit employed in this study is suitable for use in routine dental radiography provided it is operated according to the recommendations of the manufacturer by properly trained personnel. This conclusion is supported by measurements of the dose received by a simulated operator.” 4
