LiteTouch™: Revolutionizing Dental Laser Technology

Unleashing the Power of Erbium: YAG

In 2005, a group of physicists, engineers, and laser technology specialists from different dental laser companies joined forces and founded Light Instruments Ltd. Their goal was to develop breakthrough laser innovations for the dental industry. After years of research, they introduced LiteTouch™, the first all-tissue, non-fiber, non-articulated arm Erbium: YAG dental laser device with Laser-in-the-Handpiece™ technology.

LiteTouch™, designed by Light Instruments Ltd., is an Erbium: YAG dental laser that has revolutionized the field of dentistry. With its 2,940nm wavelength, LiteTouch™ is specifically designed to treat a wide range of dental procedures with minimally invasive abilities. Unlike traditional treatments, which can be invasive and painful, LiteTouch™ offers a more comfortable and efficient solution.

One of the key advantages of LiteTouch™ is its use of the Erbium: YAG wavelength, which is well absorbed in water and hydroxyl appetite molecules found in teeth and bone. This makes it highly effective for both hard tissue and soft tissue applications. In fact, over the past decade, Erbium: YAG laser treatments have replaced many traditional treatments in oral and maxillofacial surgery and dentistry.

The unique design of LiteTouch™ sets it apart from other dental lasers on the market. Unlike cumbersome beam delivery devices such as fibers and articulated arms, LiteTouch™ integrates the laser generation mechanism directly into the handpiece. This eliminates the need for additional equipment and allows for unprecedented precision and power. The Laser-in-the-Handpiece™ technology also provides ergonomic advantages, enabling micro-surgery and non-invasive operating abilities.

LiteTouch™ is equipped with a range of features that enhance its functionality and ease of use. The device includes sapphire tips of different sizes and shapes for various applications, a glass panel with touch buttons for intuitive navigation, and an LED backlit LCD screen for clear visibility. The proprietary laser chamber, spray system, and enclosed water cooling system ensure optimal performance and safety.

Light Instruments Ltd. has paid meticulous attention to the design and production of LiteTouch™. The device is made using a combination of materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and ABS plastic. The modular design allows for easy assembly and replacement of parts, while the high-quality components ensure durability and reliability.

LiteTouch™ has garnered recognition in the design community, receiving the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in the Medical Devices and Medical Equipment category in 2013. This award recognizes the innovative and creative design of LiteTouch™, which incorporates best practices in art, science, design, and technology. It is a testament to the impact LiteTouch™ has made in the field of dentistry and its contribution to improving the quality of life for patients.

With LiteTouch™, Light Instruments Ltd. has transformed dental laser technology, providing dentists with a powerful and versatile tool for a wide range of treatments. Its unique design, integration of Laser-in-the-Handpiece™ technology, and use of Erbium: YAG wavelength make it a game-changer in the field of dentistry. LiteTouch™ is not just a dental laser; it is a symbol of innovation and excellence in dental care.
