Helping Dentists Invest with Confidence
Empire Dental Devices has helped dentists across Australia invest in treatment room technology that creates safer, more efficient and more productive practices.
As dentistry has embraced digital innovation, we believe treatment units should deliver the same level of intelligent technology. Across many industries, the evolution of electric vehicles powered by advanced battery technology, smartphones and smart devices has demonstrated how intelligent electronics, wireless connectivity and advanced control systems can reduce mechanical complexity while delivering greater efficiency, reliability and dependability.
When we first evaluated Fimet’s computer-controlled treatment units, we recognised a significant advancement in dental equipment design. Intelligent solid-state electronics, brushless micromotors and advanced cordless controls reduce reliance on traditional wear-prone mechanical systems, delivering exceptional reliability, lower maintenance requirements and reduced lifetime ownership costs.
Designed for modern dentistry, Fimet treatment units improve workflow, ergonomics, infection control and patient comfort while supporting safer workplaces and long-term practice performance.
Fimet Oy is backed by the financial strength of Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding Co., Ltd., one of the world’s largest healthcare organisations, with 2025 revenue exceeding USD $38 billion. This provides the stability and resources to continue investing in innovation for decades to come.
Combined with Empire Dental Devices’ more than 40 years of industry experience and an unblemished Australia-wide service and support record, dentists can invest with confidence knowing their treatment technology is backed by proven local expertise and long-term commitment.
Our commitment is simple—to help dentists in Australia invest with confidence in technology that delivers lasting value for their practice, their team and their patients.
Designed and Engineered for Dentistry
Fimet treatment units are purposefully designed and engineered to support the demands of modern dentistry by minimising downtime, streamlining clinical workflows and delivering dependable long-term performance.
Remote-Control Technology
Intelligent remote-control technology streamlines clinical procedures through touch-free control of a variety of chair and treatment unit functions. Programmable operating positions, integrated diagnostics and automated maintenance functions simplify operation, improve workflow efficiency and help maximise productivity. Advanced solid-state electronics and brushless electric technology reduce reliance on conventional wear-prone mechanical components, helping minimise servicing requirements, maximise reliability and reduce downtime.
Ergonomic Positioning
Motorised chair positioning, programmable treatment settings and ergonomic instrument placement support efficient four-handed dentistry while reducing unnecessary clinician movement. Faster patient positioning and improved instrument accessibility enhance workflow efficiency, clinician comfort and productivity throughout the day.
Work Health & Safety (WHS)
Fimet’s cordless control technology eliminates floor-level foot control cords, helping reduce trip hazards, improve emergency access and maintain clear movement pathways around the treatment chair. Combined with an uncluttered treatment zone, ergonomic design and simplified cleaning surfaces, Fimet supports a safer, more efficient clinical environment while helping practices achieve contemporary Work Health & Safety, infection control and workflow objectives.

Trusted by Dentists Worldwide
Dr. Camilo Villegas – Perth, Australia
“I recently purchased a FIMET ARCUS treatment unit which has some great advantages. This is the most practical, ergonomic and least stressful design. My staff love the smooth easy to clean surfaces, with built-in automated biofilm dispensing, auto instrument flush and two large water bottles, hygiene processing between patients is efficient and rapid. I like the wireless foot pedal, a simple light press or click or two provides numerous touch-free functions.”
Dr. Sarah Thompson – London, UK
“Since upgrading to Fimet digital units, our workflow has become seamless. The programmable chair positions and digital controls save us time on every procedure.”
Dr. Miguel Santos – Lisbon, Portugal
“Fimet units have transformed hygiene management in our clinic. The streamlined interfaces and reduced contact points make cleaning faster and easier.”
Dr. Emily Carter – New York, USA
“Patients feel more comfortable with the smooth, multi-adjustable chairs. Even young children are at ease during treatment, which improves our overall efficiency.”
Dr. Hiroshi Tanaka – Tokyo, Japan
“The durability of Fimet digital units is impressive. Minimal mechanical parts mean fewer repairs, and we can rely on consistent performance day after day.”
Dr. Anika Mehta – Mumbai, India
“Fimet digital technology has helped our clinic modernize without the worry of high maintenance costs. It’s a long-term investment that pays off in efficiency and patient satisfaction.”

Fimet Whip-Arm Remote-Control Dental Treatment Units – WorkSafe, Infection Control & Ergonomic Compliance Justification (Australia)
Systems: Fimet Whip-Arm Remote-Control Treatment Units
Application: General dental / specialist operatory fit-out
Location: Australia (WHS / ADA compliant environment)
1. Overview
Fimet Whip-Arm Remote-Control dental treatment units are modern, platform-based systems designed for optimal infection control, WorkSafe (WHS) compliance, and efficient clinical workflow. The whip-arm design combined with cordless remote control allows flexible instrument positioning, assistant-side parking, and open operatory floor zones, improving safety and workflow efficiency.
2. WorkSafe (WHS) Compliance Alignment
Hazard Elimination & Safe Operation
Wireless (cordless) foot control eliminates floor cables → reduces trip hazards and contamination surfaces
Open floor zones improve safe patient and staff movement
Manual Handling & Ergonomics
Whip-arm delivery allows instruments to be positioned close to dentist or assistant
Reduces awkward postures, repetitive strain, and unnecessary movement
Assistant-side parking creates unobstructed patient entry/exit zones
Safe Movement & Access
Clear operatory layout supports emergency access
Reduces collisions and congestion for high-turnover clinics
3. Infection Control (ADA-Aligned)
Enhanced Cleanability
Smooth, non-porous surfaces minimize biofilm traps
Whip-arm keeps instruments off the floor and out of contamination zones
Easy wipe-down between patients
Workflow Separation
Supports defined infection control zones:
Patient access
Clinical working
Cleaning/turnover
Turnover Efficiency
Assistant-side parking allows immediate cleaning
Minimal staff movement accelerates changeover

ACL
Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) governance, 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. 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.
