What: Medit i700 intraoral scanner
Who: Medit
Where: Every practice can take advantage of implementing this high-quality, cost-effective intraoral scanner to improve their digital workflows.
When: This scanner is very easy to use. The new camera and other internal components have been reduced in size, creating a new handpiece that is smaller and lighter, and the tips have been redesigned and are now reversible, increasing the comfort of use and ease of maintenance. The cable is also detachable for easy maintenance and improved portability.
Why: To further increase user comfort, Medit developed a new remote-control mode to allow the clinician to always keep their hands on the unit to easily show scan data to the patient. For increased hygiene and safety, Medit has included a UV-C LED in the i700, making it the only device on the market with self-disinfecting capabilities. In addition, this fully open scanner runs on Medit Link software that features integration with various CAD/CAM providers and the company’s own apps.
The How: The Medit i700 builds upon the success of the company’s Medit i500 model. Powering the new unit is a superfast camera that captures up to 70 frames per second. This means more data with each pass, resulting in a smooth and quick scanning experience with realistic colors and a crisp image. The camera and other internal components have been reduced in size to create a smaller, lighter handpiece that weighs just 245 g (8.64 oz). The redesigned tips are now reversible and autoclavable 100 times, increasing comfort of use and ease of maintenance.
