ABOUT US

Our mission at PeriOptix™ is to enhance the performance of care given by healthcare professionals through high quality, innovative and differentiated products offered at a fair and reasonable value. Our strategy is to focus on our core competencies in optics and illumination and to introduce only products with distinctive features and improvements over existing products on the market.

In the few years since its founding, Perioptix has introduced a number of innovations that include a unique modular frame system for loupes, the first portable LED light source, and a proprietary locking mechanism designed to simplify the adjustment of flip up style loupes.

Hogies Frame System Hogies introduced by PeriOptix in 2004

In 2004, PeriOptix brought to the US market a revolutionary new delivery platform for loupes. The Hogies™ frame system, developed in Australia by Martin Hogan, Pty. Ltd., incorporates an innovative modular system whereby the optics, shields and nosepad are attached by a strong magnet to a sleek-looking wrap-around sports frame. In the past few years, Hogies have become a well-established brand and have set the standard for new frame innovation in the loupe market.

PeriLux LED PeriLux: the first portable dental LED headlight

In 2003, PeriOptix introduced the first battery powered LED headlight system for dentistry. The PeriLux LED light uses advanced LED (light emitting diode) technology that incorporates a patented reflector to focus the light to an incredibly brilliant beam. The LED chip virtually never needs replacement and is so efficient that the rechargeable NiMH batteries will last all day on an overnight charge.

In the first two years, PeriLux became the market's leading portable light contributing significantly to the company's growth. In 2005, Stryker Orthopedics (SYX) began to incorporate the PeriLux headlamp into their T-4 orthopedic helmets.

"Set and Forget" Optics “Set and Forget” design significantly improves the user friendliness of loupes

In 2005, the company developed and introduced a patent pending "Set and Forget™" interpupillary adjustment feature on all of its optics. Up to this time, all flip-up style loupes required the user to adjust the individual interpupillary (IP) distance each time they were worn. The PeriOptix "Set and Forget" design automatically locks in the individua's IP distance once it is set so it no longer needs to be adjusted, no matter how often the loupes are taken on and off. This exclusive design by PeriOptix has vastly improved the user friendliness of flip-up style loupes.

PeriStar LED PeriStar II: The next generation LED

Recently, Perioptix introduced the PeriStar II™ LED, its second generation portable light. The PeriStar II is the brightest LED on the market and features a patented Hybrid™ lens/reflector system. The battery pack weighs only 6.6 ouncesand uses state of-the-art Lithium Ion batteries that easily and quickly snap into a "holster" worn on the belt or in a pocket. It is supplied with a 90 minute multivolt (US and International) base charger.

PeriOptix headquarters is in San Clemente, CA and our operations are located in Escondido, CA. We sell worldwide through a network of direct sales representatives and international dealers. We attend all of the major dental, dental hygiene and veterinary shows and advertise extensively in dental publications.
