Spectromatch Systems

There are two colour matching systems currently available in our range:

• Spectromatch Pro
• Spectromatch Lite

Spectromatch systems enable the user to take digital skin colour measurements and automatically create bespoke pigment recipes to your specifications.

Spectromatch Pro utilizes a spectrophotometer to take the skin colour readings and has enhanced equipment and functionality levels.

Spectromatch Lite is designed for users with lower budget requirements. This system utilizes a colorimeter to obtain skin colour readings and has reduced functionality.

Both systems produce skin matches that effectively eliminate metamerism. This results in prostheses that will match patient's natural skin colour in all lighting conditions to all observers.

Benefits of Spectromatch systems are:

• Non-metameric prostheses
• Colour stable and naturally translucent prostheses
• Repeatable manufacturing process
• Enhanced patient satisfaction and reduced clinic attendance
• Precise levels of material usage saving time and costs

Operation

Spectromatch systems utilize integrated equipment to maximise automation and ease of use. The process to produce a successful prosthesis has few steps and requires minimal training to reach a high degree of proficiency.

Five simple operations are required:

• Creation of patient folder
• Measurement of skin colour
• Addition of required digital imagery
• Generation of recipe to custom requirements
• Weighing and mixing of recipe ingredients
