Medical and dental products have (thankfully) come a long way over the years. Today’s patients can enjoy more non-invasive treatments through innovative products that utilize water laser technology.

As leading-edge dental devices become smaller and more portable, they must maintain the same level of safety, cleanliness, and performance as their more stationary counterparts — many requiring custom design solutions for their illuminated components.

When our client approached us with a long list of requirements for its dental device, we quickly provided a solution that met all client objectives and then some.

For this water laser machine, the list of illumination design requirements was quite extensive:

• The design called for a custom cable assembly with three LED socket assemblies
• Each of the socket assemblies would house removable LEDs
• The LEDs had to be easy to install through the front panel
• There was an isolation requirement to prevent the LED to excess water exposure
• The device needed to withstand constant exposure to water and cleaning solutions

Our engineers worked closely with the client to develop the ideal solution.

Using the build your own indicator option, which allows for customization of design using standard sizes and parts, we configured a solution that customized LEDs, wire size, length, color, and wire termination for the client.
