Dental Scanning Wand Sleeve. It is a single-use protective sleeve for a handheld oral scanning wand (not the subject of this BTI). The scanning wand operates by projecting a light source into the patient’s mouth while imaging sensors capture the reflected light to generate detailed topographical images of a patient's teeth, oral tissues, and bite relationships. The sleeve connects to the scanning wand by means of an integrated snap-fit and retention groove mechanism. Once connected, it prevents direct patient contact with the wand ensuring compliance with infection-control standards. It also acts as a thermal barrier as the wand tip may exceed 40°C when in use. The optical window on the sleeve features an anti-reflective (AR) coating, minimizing glare and internal reflections, optimizing light transmission, and improving image quality.
