Dexis IXS Sensor
The DEXIS IXS Sensor is an intraoral digital imaging sensor engineered for reliability and diagnostic image quality in dental practices. Building on decades of intraoral imaging expertise from the Gendex™, Soredex™, Instrumentarium™ and KaVo brands, DEXIS IXS combines robust, damage-resistant construction with enhanced CMOS sensor technology to consistently deliver diagnostic-quality radiographs. The sensor features SimplySmart™ IoT capabilities, including automated software updates, proactive device health monitoring, and internally stored calibration files for seamless multi-surgery deployment. Available in two RiteSize™ sensor sizes, DEXIS IXS is designed for both clinical durability and optimized patient comfort.
Key Features
- DEXISTough™ robust engineering — three times more resistant to damage or functional failure than the previous GXS-700 model
- Handles double the biteforce without cosmetic damage compared to the GXS-700 model
- SimplySmart™ IoT capabilities: direct-download calibration files, automated software updates, and proactive sensor health monitoring
- Enhanced CMOS sensor technology (CsI scintillator + optical fibers) for improved contrast, reduced noise, and greater dose flexibility
- Expanded dynamic range enables sharp images at low radiation doses
- Cable withstands 22 lbs of force without functional failure, reinforced with copper alloy inner shield and Kevlar™-reinforced strands; rated for over 240,000 bend cycles
- Cable directly fused to USB housing for robust protection against twisting and tugging
- Two RiteSize™ sensor sizes (Size 1 and Size 2) with ergonomic, sharp-edge-free design for patient comfort
- Custom positioning system with color-coded bitewing (red), anterior (blue), and posterior (yellow) holders
- Positioning holders are backwards compatible with predecessor GXS-700 sensors and withstand repeated autoclaving
- Open integration with popular imaging/practice management software without bridges or additional purchases
- Compatible with DTX Studio™ suite for 2D/3D acquisition, diagnosis, treatment planning, and placement
- USB plug-and-play installation with easy transfer between surgery computers
