Dental technology leader
Sirona Dental Systems, Inc.
(
SIRO
) recently announced the launch of a novel intraoral digital sensor
and image management system, the Schick 33. Patterson Dental, a
unit of
Patterson Companies
(
PDCO
), is the chosen supplier of the company's latest offering in the
U.S. and Canada.
This newest offering from Sirona is a state-of-the art sensor in
the dental industry as it can remit an exceptional combination of
high-resolution images along with dynamic image management. Per
management, Schick 33 is built to cater to the needs of clinicians
by delivering optimized intraoral images. The new product also
enhances standards of care by allowing clinicians a choice for
appropriate sensor size and framework.
Schick 33 is designed with a theoretical resolution limit of 33
line pairs which is the best resolution available in the market.
The dental sensor comes with exclusive software to examine,
enhance, customize, store and share images, along with its unique
hardware properties. Hence, it provides excellent image quality to
dentists.
The advanced sensor will help dentists to consolidate latest
digital technologies, which will improve further with practice.
Schick 33 is based on Sirona's substitutable cable and remote
module design of the Schick Elite sensor. Schick 33 is consolidated
with the current line of Schick computed digital radiography (CDR)
systems. Consequently, it is slated to become the choice for
dentists.
Sirona is a leading innovator and manufacturer of dentistry
products. The launch of Schick 33 underlines its commitment towards
product innovation.
Sirona has put together a top-notch distribution network with
Patterson Dental and
Henry Schein, Inc.
(
HSIC
). The company is well placed in the international market. Henry
Schein is its principally largest distributor and core partner in
Europe. However, Sirona's reliance on distributors to maintain its
top-line remains a cause of concern as any alteration in the
distribution agreement would affect the operating results.
The company's global sales and financial position will continue
to boost its growth momentum. It directly competes with
DENTSPLY International Inc.
(
XRAY
).
Sirona currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into
a short-term Hold rating.
