Hu-Friedy’s double-sided mirror

Hu-Friedy recently announced a double-sided mirror that offers an alternative to mirrors that are thick, bulky, and heavy, often with a split stem that can collect debris. Hu-Friedy’s new double-sided mirrors are lighter, thinner, easier to insert, and are weld-free with no crevices. In addition, the new mirror is rhodium-coated to resist scratching, features soft, rounded edges for increased patient comfort, and is double-sided for indirect vision and illumination. The product is sold in packs of three or six to reduce the level of landfill waste produced by single packs.
