TIDIShield Kodak Size 2 X-Ray Sensor Sheath – Latex‑Free – 500 pcs

Description

Product Overview

The TIDIShield Kodak Size 2 X‑Ray Sensor Sheath is engineered specifically for dental imaging professionals who demand reliable protection without compromising image quality. Constructed from a premium polyethylene film, the sheath is thin enough to allow X‑ray photons to pass unimpeded while providing a robust barrier against contaminants. Each sheath is individually wrapped, ensuring sterility until the moment of use, and the packaging dimensions of 13.4 x 9.6 x 2.8 inches make storage and handling straightforward for busy dental practices.

One of the standout attributes of this product is its latex‑free composition, which aligns with ISO 10993‑5, ISO 10993‑10 cytotoxicity, skin irritation, and sensitization standards. This eliminates the risk of allergic reactions for patients and staff, a critical consideration in environments where repeated exposure to barrier materials is routine. The material’s flexibility yields soft, rounded edges that reduce the chance of patient discomfort or sensor damage during placement.

Designed for the Kodak Size 2 sensor format, the sheath fits snugly around the sensor head, eliminating excess material that could interfere with positioning or cause image artifacts. The sheath’s dimensions are calibrated to match the sensor’s footprint, providing a seamless interface that maintains the integrity of diagnostic images while delivering a hygienic barrier.

Each order contains five boxes, each holding 100 sheaths, for a total of 500 individually wrapped units. The product is manufactured in the United States, reflecting a commitment to quality control and supply chain reliability. With a best‑seller rank of #76 in Dental Imaging & Sensor Sleeves, the TIDIShield sheath has earned a reputation for consistency and performance among dental professionals.

Usage

These sheaths are intended for single‑use applications in a variety of dental imaging scenarios, including routine bitewing radiographs, periapical examinations, and panoramic scans where a sensor must be protected between patients. The easy‑to‑peel wrapping allows clinicians to quickly access the sheath, place it over the sensor, and dispose of it after the exposure, minimizing turnaround time and maintaining a high throughput in busy practices.

In addition to standard intra‑oral imaging, the sheaths are suitable for use in specialty procedures such as endodontic assessments, implant planning, and orthodontic monitoring, where precise sensor positioning is essential. The latex‑free nature makes them an ideal choice for patients with known latex sensitivities, ensuring that the barrier does not introduce an additional source of irritation.

Because the polyethylene film does not interfere with X‑ray transmission, clinicians can rely on consistent image quality across all exposures. The sheath’s durability also protects the sensor from mechanical wear, extending the lifespan of expensive imaging equipment. Dental schools, research facilities, and mobile dental units benefit from the convenience of pre‑wrapped, ready‑to‑use barriers that simplify infection control protocols.

FAQ

Can these sheaths be used with sensors from manufacturers other than Kodak?

While the sheath is optimized for Kodak Size 2 sensors, the flexible polyethylene material can accommodate other sensor brands that share similar dimensions. However, for best results and a secure fit, we recommend confirming the sensor’s size specifications before use.

Are the sheaths compatible with all types of dental X‑ray equipment?

Yes. The sheath’s thin polyethylene film does not interfere with X‑ray transmission, making it suitable for use with both analog and digital dental radiography units, including handheld and wall‑mounted devices.

What is the recommended storage condition for the sheaths?

Store the boxes in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. The polyethylene material remains stable under typical office conditions, and the individual wrappers protect each sheath from moisture and dust.

How does the latex‑free claim benefit patients?

Latex allergies can cause mild to severe reactions. By using a latex‑free barrier, the sheath eliminates this risk, providing a safer experience for patients with known sensitivities and reducing the chance of allergic complications during imaging procedures.

What should I do if a sheath tears during use?

If a sheath becomes compromised, discontinue its use immediately and replace it with a new, intact sheath from the same box. The individual packaging ensures that a fresh, sterile barrier is always available.
