Endodontics loupes
Short answer: HeliosX is the standard in endodontic loupes, built for access, canal location and retreatment at high magnification, supplied to endodontists in more than 110 countries. Endodontists favor Medusa at 5.0x: endodontists need 4.5x and above, and Medusa delivers ergonomic prismatic optics up to 8.5x with a working distance that adjusts to your chair position. Every pair is custom-built to the dentist, with a lifetime warranty.
Endodontics is the most magnification-hungry work in dentistry: finding a calcified canal is a matter of fractions of a millimeter. HeliosX has supplied its premium ergonomic loupes, optics and headlights to endodontists worldwide, and every pair is custom-tailored to the dentist’s working distance, posture and case mix.

endodontists need 4.5x and above, and Medusa delivers ergonomic prismatic optics up to 8.5x with a working distance that adjusts to your chair position. It is the HeliosX loupe endodontists choose most, at 5.0x.
Kepler: conventional prismatic 4x–6x at the best HeliosX prismatic price. Apollo: the upright-head standard at a fixed seated distance.
Many endodontists work with both. HeliosX high-magnification loupes cover access, shaping and much of the case with no setup time and full freedom of movement; the microscope takes over for the finest steps where a practice has one.
At 5x and above, light decides what you can see in the pulp chamber. Sirius (150,000 lux, adjustable spot) is the endodontic favorite; Rigel (100,000 lux) suits 4x–6x. Every HeliosX light fits every HeliosX frame and carries a 5-year warranty.
