Description:

The Sopro 617’s slim, rounded tip houses an aspheric lens that provides a 105-degree field of view, allowing operators to image distal molars without mirror gymnastics. A 1/4-inch high-sensitivity CCD paired with automatic white balance delivers 470 TV-line definition (768 × 494 NTSC), captured via capacitive Soprotouch freeze when the distal sensor is tapped. Eight condenser-focused LEDs eliminate hot spots while maintaining a cool touch. At 1.94 oz and 8.1 in length, the handpiece swivels 360° on its eight-foot cable to a docking station that outputs USB 2.0 or S-video for legacy monitors. The sealed design carries an IP67 rating at the distal tip for high-level disinfection.

Economic Advantage:

The camera’s plug-and-play USB interface lets practices repurpose existing laptops as imaging stations, avoiding pricey capture cards. Its auto-focus electronics and one-hand Soprotouch release shorten image acquisition to seconds, freeing chair time and boosting patient-acceptance of treatment plans—translating to higher case revenue without added staffing.
