The VELscope is a hand-held device that provides dentists and hygienists with an easy-to-integrate adjunctive mucosal examination system for the early detection of a wide variety of oral diseases, including pre-cancer and cancer. Used in conjunction with the conventional intra-oral and extra-oral head and neck exam, the VELscope facilitates the discovery of mucosal abnormalities before they become visible under ordinary light. The VELscope is the only non-invasive adjunctive device clinically proven to help discover occult oral disease.

"A scan told us the patient had cancer, but we couldn't find the primary source by just looking in her mouth with regular light. Using a VELscope exam, I was able to visualize the oral source of the cancer. The surgeon removed it, and the patient is still with us over six years later. VELscope literally saved the patient's life." –Anthony Palombaro, DDS
