Phillips Safety Multiwave Model 66 | Integrated Ocular Protection for YAG, Alexandrite, and Diode Lasers

The Phillips Safety Multiwave Model 66 is fully certified to meet ANSI Z136.1 and ANSI Z87.1 standards, ensuring it meets the highest safety benchmarks for both laser protection and impact resistance. For international and institutional procurement, these glasses also carry a CE Certificate, affirming they comply with rigorous European safety protocols for laser protective eyewear. Procurement officers can confidently integrate these into any OSHA-regulated environment where Class 3B or Class 4 lasers are in operation. The markings on the lenses and frame provide immediate verification of compliance during safety audits and facility inspections. By adhering to these dual standards, the Model 66 provides a high-authority safety solution that minimizes institutional liability and maximizes personnel protection.

This specialized BG42 glass filter provides an exceptional Optical Density (OD) of 7+ across the 700nm to 1200nm spectrum, covering Nd:YAG (1064nm), Alexandrite (755nm), and various Diode wavelengths. This high level of attenuation ensures that harmful laser radiation is reduced to safe levels, protecting the retina from both direct and reflected beam exposure. The multiwave capability is particularly valuable in facilities that utilize different laser systems, as it eliminates the need for technicians to switch between multiple pairs of glasses. With a VLT of 53%, the light blue tint provides a clear field of view while maintaining maximum safety for the most common infrared laser applications.

The Model 66 frame is engineered with telescoping temple bars and a 3-position ratcheting hinge, allowing for a customized, secure fit for a wide range of head shapes and sizes. This level of adjustability is critical for staff compliance, as it prevents the eyewear from slipping or causing pressure points during long medical or industrial procedures. The oversized lens design and permanent side shields provide comprehensive lateral protection without obstructing the user’s peripheral vision. Facility managers find that comfortable, well-fitting gear significantly reduces the likelihood of staff removing their eye protection in hazardous zones. These ergonomic features ensure that the glasses stay firmly in place, even when the operator is in a downward-facing position.

Utilizing a premium BG42 mineral glass filter, these glasses offer significantly higher thermal resistance and optical longevity compared to standard polycarbonate lenses. Glass filters do not "bleach" or lose their protective characteristics when exposed to high-intensity laser energy or UV-C disinfection cycles. The material is inherently scratch-resistant, maintaining its spectral clarity over several years of frequent use in busy clinical settings. While the initial investment for glass is higher, the reduced frequency of replacement cycles offers a superior long-term return on investment (ROI). For technical specialists, the superior clarity of glass reduces eye strain and improves the precision of intricate laser maneuvers.

Yes, the Phillips Safety Multiwave Model 66 is designed to accommodate high-quality prescription lenses while maintaining its full laser safety ratings. Our state-of-the-art CNC edging facility allows for the precision mounting of spherical or aspheric prescription lenses directly into the Model 66 frame. This capability eliminates the need for bulky "fit-over" goggles, providing a more professional and comfortable experience for staff members who require vision correction. Maintaining visual acuity is essential for surgical precision and the safe operation of complex industrial laser machinery. For institutional buyers, this customization ensures that all team members are equipped with the exact protection and clarity they need to perform their duties safely.
