As a doctor, you place a priority on the safety, comfort, and confidence of your patients and team, while continuing to rely on radiography as a powerful tool for diagnosis and treatment planning. Still, concerns around radiation exposure from X-rays persist among clinical staff and patients alike. While the CDC confirms that medical and dental X-rays use very small amounts of radiation, often comparable to natural background exposure or everyday activities like flying¹, practices must still take every precaution to protect their people and patients.

Investing in X-ray solutions that offer advanced protective features without sacrificing image quality is an effective way to demonstrate your commitment to your staff and patients while differentiating your practice.

A pioneer in imaging innovation, DEXIS developed the NOMAD^TM Pro 2 portable X-ray, which delivers seven times less radiation at the trigger than the leading competitor,^* and meets the latest IEC standards.^** Combining the convenience and freedom of a portable X-ray system with industry-leading safety features, the NOMAD Pro 2 captures the exceptional image quality you need to diagnose and treat patients with confidence while adding peace of mind and portable convenience for staff.

Less Radiation Leakage, More Peace of Mind

Built on years of scientific advancement, research, and development, the NOMAD Pro 2 reduces radiation leakage and exposure thanks to industry-unique innovations that meet and exceed rigorous safety standards.

According to recommendations set forth by the American Dental Association, X-rays should only be taken when they influence diagnosis or treatment planning, using the lowest effective dose.² NOMAD Pro 2 supports these guidelines and patient safety by generating a low dose of radiation. But the system goes further, employing two advanced shielding features, including a unique acrylic polymer shield that protects the operator from direct and scatter radiation. Meanwhile, a proprietary internal housing mechanism encases the X-ray tube and backscatter shield to block radiation leakage.

Combined, these features create a zone of protection for the operator throughout the acquisition process. This makes the NOMAD Pro 2 safe for use as a handheld X-ray device—saving patients and clinical staff the time and inconvenience of moving to a separate operatory and setting up an X-ray machine.

7 Times Less X-Ray Radiation Leakage at the Trigger than the Leading Competitor.*

Low dosage and less radiation leakage don’t come at the expense of image quality. The NOMAD Pro 2 leverages the latest X-ray technology to capture consistently detailed, accurate, and clear images that support diagnostic confidence and treatment planning. With a 0.4 mm focal spot and a 60kV DC X-ray generator, the NOMAD Pro 2 produces sharp radiographic images with every use. You’ll spend less time retaking X-rays and more time by your patient’s side.

Longer Battery Life for Busy Practices

Reliable image quality also comes with reliable performance. With higher-capacity battery technology than its predecessor, the NOMAD Pro 2 keeps up with your busy practice while keeping your team productive. Incorporating 30% more capacity and longer life than previous models, the NOMAD Pro 2 uses the same type of battery technology found in industrial power tools along with battery cells constructed with a similar material used in electric vehicles. A reengineered battery charger maximizes charging power so your team can be certain the NOMAD Pro 2 is ready to go when needed.

Ergonomic Comfort and Increased Stability

Highly portable and easy to use, the NOMAD Pro 2 gives you the mobility to move freely between operatories and perform X-rays right at the chairside for an improved patient experience. No need to leave the room to trigger exposures, only to discover you need to readjust the patient’s position and retake the X-ray.

Ergonomic design innovations include more evenly dispersed weight that adds stability in your palm. Incorporating user feedback, the NOMAD Pro 2 also features a secure grip designed for smaller hands. The slightly tapered shape provides for a better and more comfortable fit, with the ability to cradle the device while quickly adjusting settings.

Flexibility Meets Simplicity

The NOMAD Pro 2 intuitive interface allows the user to choose from a range of flexible settings, including one of two body types; film, PSP or sensor modality; tooth presets that automatically adjust for dose; or manually adjusted exposure. With easy-to-use features like these, the NOMAD Pro 2 makes it simple to meet ALARA guidelines for radiation safety and select the right dose for your patient’s particular needs.
