Aribex Awarded Patents for Handheld X-ray

OREM, UTAH—19 January 2009—Aribex, Inc., a world leader in handheld x-ray technologies, announced today that it has been allowed a second U.S. patent for its NOMAD Handheld X-ray System.

The latest patent (Appl. # 20070269010) protects the central concept of having all components of the x-ray system in the same enclosure. This concept led to the development of the world’s first handheld x-ray system. Aribex was previously awarded patent #7,224,769 for the digital x-ray camera in October of 2007.

“No one had ever made a handheld intraoral x-ray with the power source in the same enclosure as the x-ray head,” said Dr. D. Clark Turner, President and CEO of Aribex. “We opened up a new category when we created the NOMAD. We are glad to have our creativity and our technology recognized and protected in this manner.”
