VELscope Mantis with iPhone showing fluorescence image capture
Three Visualization Modes, One Device

The Mantis integrates traditional white light, polarized white light, and blue-light-induced fluorescence visualization — giving you a comprehensive view of tissue health from every angle.

VELscope Mantis showing all three visualization modes
Oral cavity under non-polarized white light

Non-Polarized White Light

The traditional method for examining tissue. Non-polarized white light provides a combination of surface reflections that highlight texture and topography, along with color variations that indicate the state of the underlying tissue.

Oral cavity under polarized white light

Polarized White Light

Polarized white light excels at revealing subtle color tissue changes by improving color response and eliminating distracting surface reflections that can obscure what is happening beneath the surface.

Oral cavity under fluorescence visualization

Enhanced Fluorescence

The Mantis builds upon its predecessors with an increased field of view and enhanced filtering for a brighter, improved image with increased yellow/orange spectral content and visibility of bacterial fluorescence.

Fluorescence Visualization for Enhanced Oral Screening

VELscope uses blue-light excitation to reveal tissue fluorescence — showing cellular and structural changes invisible under normal white light. No dyes, no rinses, no prolonged procedures.

1

Dim the Lights

Lower operatory lighting and turn on the VELscope handpiece. The blue excitation light activates immediately.

2

Visualize

Scan the oral cavity. Healthy tissue fluoresces bright green. Areas of concern appear as dark patches against the natural fluorescence.

3

Document & Decide

Capture images for patient records. Refer abnormalities for further evaluation or upload cases to OralMedicine.com for expert review.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is VELscope and how does it work?+
VELscope is an FDA-cleared fluorescence visualization device that helps dental professionals identify oral mucosal abnormalities. It uses safe blue light to excite natural fluorophores in oral tissue. Healthy tissue glows green, while areas with abnormal cellular changes appear dark. No dyes or rinses are required.
What is the VELscope Mantis?+
The VELscope Mantis is the next-generation oral screening device. It combines three visualization modes — non-polarized white light, polarized white light, and enhanced fluorescence — into a single, cordless, fanless handpiece with built-in iPhone photo documentation.
When will the Mantis be available?+
The VELscope Mantis is available now and ships factory-direct. The device is $1,695, or $1,995 for the bundle with starter supplies. Order directly through this site.
Why is VELscope Shop priced lower than distributors?+
VELscope Shop is the authorized direct online channel, so there is no middleman markup. You receive the same brand-new products with the same manufacturer warranty and support.
Is VELscope Shop an authorized retailer?+
Yes. VELscope Shop is the authorized e-commerce channel for VELscope products. All products are genuine, factory-sealed, and carry the full manufacturer warranty.
What disposable supplies do I need?+
For the VELscope Vx, the main consumables are VELsheaths and VELcaps. The Mantis uses its own Mantis Shield system — a combined lens cap and handpiece barrier designed for single-patient use.
Can VELscope diagnose oral cancer?+
VELscope is a screening and visualization tool, not a diagnostic device. It helps clinicians identify areas of concern that may warrant further evaluation, biopsy, or referral.
What is OralMedicine.com?+
OralMedicine.com is a clinical support platform that allows dentists and hygienists to upload case images directly to expert oral pathologists for review, supporting earlier identification of oral abnormalities.

Be a Hero. Save Lives.

Every 40 seconds, someone is diagnosed with oral cancer. Early screening dramatically improves survival rates. VELscope gives you the power to see what the eye alone cannot.
