ABOUT US

WELCOME

For more than 35 years, Empire Dental Devices has been the exclusive Australian distributor of FIMET’s advanced remote-controlled dental treatment units. Throughout this time, we’ve earned a reputation for delivering innovative, reliable solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and workflow in modern dental practices.

Our long history of visiting clinics across Australia revealed a common challenge: many operatories were cluttered and difficult to navigate. Tangled control cords, hanging hoses, and poorly positioned equipment often disrupted movement and compromised both ergonomics and safety. It became clear that equipment choices weren’t always made with workflow or room design in mind.

Recognizing this gap shaped the purpose of our work.

Today, Empire Dental Devices is trusted not only for leading technology, but for thoughtful equipment design, dependable support, and long-standing partnerships built on integrity. We are committed to helping dental professionals create smarter, safer, and more streamlined workspaces that make clinical practice easier and more efficient.

With solutions engineered to reduce clutter, remove obstructions, and optimize every movement within the operatory, we continue to redefine what a modern dental clinic can be—practical, ergonomic, and built for exceptional care.

OUR MISSION

To empower dental professionals with innovative, safety-focused solutions that enhance clinical efficiency, workflow and ergonomic well-being.

WHS

Control cords on the floor can pose a significant tripping hazard in dental clinics, leading to workplace injuries and potential legal liabilities. To address the tripping hazard caused by hazardous control cords, WorkSafe recommendations generally focus on both eliminating or minimizing the hazard and implementing controls to ensure safety. Where possible, switch to cordless or battery-operated equipment to eliminate cords entirely.

⚠️ Direct Risk / Safety Warning

External control cabling can interfere with safe clinical workflows

Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) regulations, dental equipment must meet high standards for safety, hygiene, and accessibility. If items such as dental chairs or treatment units are installed with exposed control cords on the floor—creating a tripping hazard—or are arranged in a way that impedes clinical workflow, this may constitute a significant issue under the ACL. In such cases, the buyer may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund, provided the issue relates to the product itself or the manner of its installation. However, if the problem arises due to the purchaser’s own planning or layout decisions, ACL protections may not apply. Even so, the dental practice could still face WHS compliance issues and potential insurance risks if an incident occurs. Suppliers, installers, and designers share responsibility for ensuring that equipment and clinical environments are safe and comply with all relevant standards and guidelines. Where issues fall within their scope of work, they may be obligated to assist in resolving them.

Disclaimer: The information provided is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Whether a product or installation constitutes a major failure under the Australian Consumer Law depends on the specific circumstances.

Elevating Safety and Hygiene Standards in Dental Clinics

simple to Use

Fast – Safe – Efficient

Fimet’s cordless foot control provides a wide variety of touch-free chair and unit settings including micromotor speed adjustments streamlining every procedure while maintaining the highest standards of infection control.

Safety:

Eliminating cords from the floor minimizes tripping hazards and makes the operatory easier to clean and sanitize effectively.

Reliability:

Australia has one of the highest labour costs in the developed world. Transitioning from mechanically driven systems prone to constant replacement of wear and tear components to remote-controlled digital infrastructure offers a cost-efficient approach that enhances clinical reliability and reduces ongoing operational expenses.

Workflow:

Fimet design allows for an open, clutter-free workspace and easy patient entry/exit, enhancing comfort for both the patient and the dental team

Due to these factors, dental units are moving towards cordless controls to improve efficiency, reduce clutter, enhance safety, hygiene, workflow, ergonomics and cost efficiency in the dental practice.

Unobstructed Flow of Movement

Dr. Nick France

“The FIMET whip arm dental unit can be easily positioned to the assistant’s side. I can still talk to the patient about their treatment while the assistant cleans up and the patients are oblivious to it. Patient entry and exit to the chair is clear and equipment obstruction free. I can’t really imagine how much difference that has made over the years in time and ease.”
