Elements Apex Locator: industrial design
Diagnostic dental device which aids the dentist in performing a root canal. Nectar’s team interviewed dentists as well as observed and documented root canal procedures to get a real life view of the dentist’s needs. Enhanced usability was identified as key goal in the development program. Nectar’s response was a design with a large, easy to read display along with a remote display unit to bring critical information closer to the dentist. This product exceeded all sales goals when introduced and won the 2004 IDEA award.
