The imaging plate has two sides: the active side for capturing the X-ray image and the inactive side. The
active side of the imaging plate includes an orientation mark ‘c’ to facilitate accurate positioning within the
patient’s mouth. The inactive side has a printed dot that corresponds to the location of the orientation mark
on the active side. This dot is visible through the transparent hygienic sheath and is also helpful for
positioning the imaging plate correctly in the patient’s mouth.
Hygienic Sheaths
For each imaging plate size there is a corresponding one-time use, disposable, hygienic sheath for
preventing cross contamination. The transparent side allows you to see the orientation mark for positioning
the imaging plate correctly in the patient’s mouth while the opaque side protects the active side of the
inserted imaging plate from light damaging effects. The foam strip is a stopper which prevents inserting the
hygienic sheath by mistake into the scanner (as long as the insertion direction is correct).
Important: Use only Carestream imaging plates and hygienic sheaths!
