Review article demonstrates common ergonomic loupe design deficiencies among clinicians, highlighting the need for clear standards to prevent neck strain.
Nearly all loupe wearers consider loupe ergonomics as one of the important factors in selecting loupes. Despite this, we find that many of the loupes sold as "ergonomic loupes" do not meet ergonomic requirements. This is why SurgiTel's mission has been to improve the way medical, dental, and veterinary professionals' work. We strive to enhance our clients' health through providing the best products which support the best working posture and comfort, alleviating all too common neck and back strains, and helping them provide their patients with the best care. This article will review basic ergonomics related to loupes so that non-ergonomic loupes can be easily identified.
