Description

AcuHand is a state of the art electronic system that gives the user measurable control over the angular positioning or the hand held instrument. In a time when technology has made dramatic progress in almost every aspect of our lives, the success of dental treatment still depends on the dentist's hand-eye coordination. The human hand is not a precision instrument compared to industrial machinery. It has natural limitations not only to control the movement, but also even to hold an instrument in a steady position. Our biological limitations of visual perception and of manual dexterity do not allow reliable control over the proper angular positioning of an instrument. That's why AHS is designed to allow dental practitioners, who already have a high level of manual dexterity, to achieve nearly robotic precision. The AcuHand Systems consists of four integral components. A small sensor, which attaches to the handpiece, a computer preinstalled with AcuHand, dedicated software, and a foot pedal. The small sensor is attached to the base of the handpiece. The sensor relays information to the computer and the software then monitors the operator's desired position for the handpiece. Once the operator places the handpiece in the desired position, the operator simply presses down on the foot pedal to lock in that position. The sensor then registers the slightest deviation from the preset parameters along three axes of movement...
