Dentists are at high risk for musculoskeletal disorders due to the nature of their work.

Whilst it is easy to visualise how an accident at work may result in life limiting illness many work-related injuries occur while sat in an office chair – or on a dental stool. These injuries may occur over a longer period of time, but the effects can be just as devastating. The key to preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders is ergonomics.

Working with a dental microscope allows for the best possible working position. For some dentists this is their main motivation for investing in a microscope. Using a microscope encourages optimal working posture and ergonomics, fundamental to your long-term health and well being.

A dental microscope works in the same way that a telescope works, the furthest point of view is at infinity. Therefore the eyes are not strained and fatigue rarely occurs.

With features like the Seiler Vario Focus, 0-220 Binocular Head, Ergo Grips and Extender Rotation Device you can sit comfortably in an ergonomically correct position.

• Vario Focus enables you to adjust the focal length from 200-350 mm without leaving your preferred working position therefore reducing neck and back strain.
• Seiler Ergo Grips allow you to arrange the handgrips ergonomically to suit all working positions and treatments.

In Essence – Seiler microscopes allow you to maintain an ergonomic, upright working position without ever having to take your eyes off the patient.

The result, a more relaxed working day.
