The Challenges Facing Seniors Today
With increasing life expectancy and current medical advances
helping more seniors than ever live active, independent lives, preventing fractures
is a foremost public health concern. Research has shown that osteoporotic fractures, particularly hip fractures,
can have a devastating effect on the health and independence of elderly people. Still, one out of 2 women and one out of eight
men can expect to sustain an osteoporotic fracture over their lifetimes. Identifying the risk factors for fractures and taking
the steps to prevent fractures are the key to maintaining independence as people grow older.

Studies have shown that fracture risk is determined
by both bone health and fall risk. To accurately assess fracture risk, both of these factors must be taken into account.
Regular assessment of both fall risk and bone strength is the best way to prevent fractures for older patients.
Sunlight's new combo system, Omnisense with Tetrax, is the only device available that can diagnose both of these
factors to provide a comprehensive result, right in your clinic.
Choosing the Best Option for You
The Omnisense/Tetrax combo package provides the best way for the physician to take the major factors that
affect risk of fracture into consideration when treating patients at risk. Both diagnostic exams are simple to carry out,
quick, and accurate.
The combined device is available as a complete package, or Tetrax can be purchased as an add-on application for existing Omnisense devices.
