* Handheld format: Allows the assistant to modify angle and placement during the procedure as exposure needs change.
* Metallic construction: Supports regular handling and processing when compatible with established clinical protocols.
* Smooth surfaces: Facilitate inspection and routine cleaning of the instrument following use.
