CURIX Ortho HT-L Plus Film

CURIX Ortho HT-L Plus film is a universal high-speed film that is suitable for all circumstances. The shape of its curve shows that the film is fit for even the most difficult applications, such as portable examinations, and for all other areas that require a large exposure contrast.

The curve's toe has a flat slope, which means that the film provides ample information in the low-density areas. CURIX Ortho HT-L Plus provides exceptional visualization of the retrocardial and mediastinal area.

Variable Range Hopping

Thanks to the unique Variable Range Hopping concept, Agfa HealthCare's CURIX Ortho HT-L Plus is coated with an antistatic layer that remains on the film after processing. The film attracts less dust and dirt, reducing artifacts and increasing the quality of scans. This results in improved transport in digitizers with bulk auto feed.

Increased efficiency and reduced operational cost

CURIX Ortho HT-L Plus has been specially designed for processing in high-throughput processors and daylight equipment (e.g. CLASSIC E.O.S. and COMPACT E.O.S.), increasing efficiency and reducing overall operational costs.

Constant high image quality

CURIX Ortho HT-L Plus is very consistent: Agfa's Disc Grain technology ensures constant high image quality, even when the film is processed in weaker chemicals or unfavorable conditions.

Threefold ecologically sound processing

CURIX Ortho HT-L Plus is fully compatible with the CLASSIC E.O.S. and COMPACT E.O.S. The "Ecologically Optimized System" reduces both the silver content in wash water and the fixer replenishment rate by 35%. Additionally, CURIX Ortho HT-G can be processed in glutaraldehyde-free developer and low-odor fixer.

Safelight requirements

The use of a special red safelight filter is recommended.
It should be used in combination with a 15 watt frosted bulb and be positioned at least at 1.2 m (4') from the unloading/loading area and processor tray.
