The portable, space-saving design of the DEXIS NOMADTM  Pro 2 handheld X-ray system gives clinicians freedom of mobility while improving efficiency.
 
As the world embraces advancing technology at an unprecedented pace, the devices that are used to access that technology are becoming smaller and smaller. A similar trend has been occurring in the dental industry as equipment gets smaller, more mobile and more versatile.
 
In the digital X-ray arena, DEXIS provides a portable solution – the NOMAD Pro 2 handheld X-ray system – that saves valuable operatory space while reducing equipment expenses, improving patient convenience, and allowing clinicians to move it between operatories or to off-site locations.¹

Convenience of portable X-ray technology

Instead of being permanently mounted in a dental practice like large X-ray systems, DEXIS NOMAD Pro 2 is small enough to be handheld. Because of its small size, light weight, and portability, it can be transported to nursing homes, on mission trips or free dental clinics, expanding access to care to a variety of patients.¹
 
Without a portable X-ray device, “patients had to be at the clinic to get X-rays taken,” shared Dr. Aamna Nayyar, a director of a college dental program. Having NOMAD Pro 2 removes that obstacle and “is a great device for community dental health coordinators and dental hygienists to take X-rays at a remote site and communicate with their dentists via teledentistry,” she explained.
 
Praising the NOMAD Pro 2’s “mobility and versatility,” another dentist said, “It allows me to take radiographs at different locations and gives me more options chairside.” Compared to wall-mounted X-ray units, Dr. Scott Bridges said, “Two NOMADs can serve four treatment rooms with ease, saving space and money.” When asked to recommend improvements to NOMAD Pro 2, several dentists suggested that the device could be lighter in weight.

Patient satisfaction

With NOMAD Pro 2, Dr. Nayyar said clinicians can conveniently and efficiently take X-rays without the patient needing to leave the operatory, a win-win for the patient and practice. She believes the portable technology could be very helpful to hygienists, teledentists, and their patients.
 
Samantha Montoya, a clinic coordinator, said having the NOMAD Pro 2 allows clinicians better accessibility to patients and is also “great for teaching students.” The system’s “portability and good quality images” are Dr. Charles Kattuah’s favorite features, and he pointed out that “a full-mouth series of X-rays can be taken faster” with NOMAD Pro 2 compared to a traditional wall-mounted unit.
