CX 2000 Ceph
CX2000 Patient Head Positioner and Cassette Holder (Cephalostat)
The CX2000 is shown in the STANDARD (left to right) configuration mounted
on two white PVC placards. The CX2000 can be mounted on the same wall on either side of the x-ray unit. It can also span a
doorway or window. The unit can also be mounted on adjacent walls and can be setup for REVERSE (right to left) configuration.
NOTE! Direction is usually referred to from the perspective
of "looking at the wall"
STANDARD - Left to Right = X-ray head on left and
Patient on right
REVERSE - Right to Left = X-ray head on right and Patient on left
Features:
- The CX2000 can be quickly disengaged from the wall plate (on-off)
capabilities for both the "Cephalostat" and "Fixator/Collimator", which maximizes the flexibility of location in the operatory,
especially where an operatory serves as a dual function or where space is of primary concern.
- A sturdy design, that allows no patient ear post movement or misalignment
once initially positioned and locked. Thus stabilizing the patient in a fixed position along the path of the central x-ray
beam which is directed through the transmeatal axis of the patient. This is essential for consistently accurate radiographs.
- The unit has a film "cassette stop" which is utilized in maximizing
"film placement to patient head" positioning. This is absolutely necessary due to Radiation Safety requirements for x-ray
field size and alignment. By having a "cassette stop," the placement of the film cassette is positioned to eliminate cone
cutting, yet permitting the maximum patient head coverage.
- Positive alignment indicators are present in each radiograph to assure
consistent, accurate radiographs.
- The CX2000 is utilized for lateral views along with capabilities
for anterior (AP) views and submental vertex (SMV) radiographs for analyzing condyle angulation.
- The "Fixator/Box-Type Collimator" can be utilized with all x-ray units
by inserting the x-ray PID (cone) into the Collimator. The Fixator/Collimator also has vertical and horizontal adjustments.
- Naturally a package that includes a "Soft Tissue Shield" for soft
tissue profile is also available.
- The unit is easily "factory" customized, giving flexibility of installation
in various office designs. In the field, the CX2000 can easily be changed from a STANDARD setup to a REVERSE setup direction.
As with all of the Margraf Cephalometric units, the CX2000 is also compatible
with either digital or analog (conventional) periapical x-ray systems because our CX2000 maintains a constant source-to-image
distance and constant patient-to-film distance in order to obtain maximum image sharpness.
The CX2000 is designed to provide
the most reliable of tools for maximum visualization and diagnosis of cephalometric radiographs.
The CX20000 incorporates
and provides you with features which are necessary to meet the demands of today's orthodontic arena yet are not available
on most other manufactured units
Fixator / Box-Type Collimator
The Fixator/Collimator provides stability and alignment for the x-ray head and
collimates (limits) the x-ray field to the size of the 8 x 10 image receptor (cassette). The unit accepts any x-ray PID (cone),
or one is provided with the collimator.
Fixator Bracket and Collimator Removed
The Fixator/Collimator can easily be disengaged from the wall plate and reinstalled
quickly and simply.
The CX2000 Patient Head Positioner allows no movement of the patient ear posts
once locked in position, thus stabilizing the patient in a fixed position. The nasion positioner is necessary to stabilize
the patient for the Frankfort Horizontal Plane. Patient-to-film distance is at a minimum so you obtain maximum image sharpness.
Shows the CX2000 Cephalostat removed. This is a standard feature with our CX2000.
As you can see, this offers great flexibility for your office, with nothing protruding
out into the operatory space. There is only one locking knob, which simplifies the disengaging and reinstallation of the unit.
