Carestream CS 2500P is a portable, handheld intraoral dental X-ray machine. Instead of being bolted to a wall like traditional bulky dental X-ray arms, it is a lightweight, battery-powered cordless gun that a dental assistant can comfortably carry from room to room. It serves as the physical radiation source used to expose intraoral sensors (like the RVG 6200) or phosphor plates (like the Carestream CS 7200).
As a restorative dentistry device, Carestream CS 2500P detects hidden decay, especially interproximal cavities (cavities forming between two teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach).
Carestream CS 2500P Handheld Dental X‑Ray Key Features
- Wall-Unit Radiation Power: Houses a powerful 70 kV X-ray generator. This matches the structural output strength of traditional fixed wall units, ensuring consistently sharp diagnostic image contrast.
- Patented Light-Beam Guidance: Projects visual alignment lines directly onto the patient’s face. This assists the dental technician in perfectly aiming the cone, drastically reducing positioning errors and frustrating retakes.
- Operator Radiation Shielding: Features internal lead shielding and an attached clear acrylic backscatter shield. This diverts secondary scattered radiation away from the clinician, allowing them to remain safely right next to the patient chair during the exposure.
- High-Capacity Battery & Workflow: Carestream CS 2500P Built with a long-lasting lithium battery designed to effortlessly run a busy, fast-paced practice through a full day of multi-chair imaging workflows on a single charge.
- Stable Ergonomics: Designed with a balanced grip and an included stabilizing shoulder strap to offset operator hand fatigue and ensure structural stillness while clicking the trigger.
