OUR MISSION

To empower dental professionals with innovative, safety-focused solutions that enhance clinical efficiency and workflows.

Remote-Control

Minimized Risks – Improved Workflow – Greater Hygiene

In today’s fast-paced dental environments, efficiency and safety go hand in hand — and Fimet treatment units are expertly designed to deliver both. Every detail is purposefully engineered to simplify workflows, reduce risks, and create a smooth, seamless experience for clinicians and patients alike.

With a smart, space-efficient layout, a cordless foot pedal, and innovative equipment positioning that keeps walkways clear, Fimet units align with the latest Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) recommendations—promoting safe, effortless movement throughout the clinic.

Fimet’s state-of-the-art cordless foot pedal elevates hygiene, safety, reliability, and ease of use — empowering clinicians to stay focused on what matters most: exceptional patient care.

Integrated biofilm dispensing and automatic instrument flush-purging systems ensure rapid, consistent disinfection with minimal interruption to daily routines. Ergonomic and fully adjustable, each unit enhances comfort for both operator and patient, while smooth, rounded surfaces make cleaning quick and effortless.

The innovative ambidextrous conversion system allows seamless switching between left- and right-handed setups, adapting easily to your team’s preferences and optimizing workflow flexibility.

Whether part of a new fit-out or a refurbishment project, Fimet’s compact, future-ready units — featuring the easy-to-install Neo service box, positioned at the front or side of the chair and designed to reduce plumbing and electrical modifications — are a smart, forward-thinking investment in safer, more efficient, and more productive dentistry.

Greater Peace of Mind

Raising the Bar for Safety and Workflow in the Dental Operatory

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.

Unobstructed Flow of Movement

Compact Design

Effortless Workflow – Ease of Mobility

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.”

DRILL POWER

Technology Breakthrough

Precision You Can Rely On

Reliable high-speed handpiece performance is critical for efficient, high-quality dental care, making it a key factor when selecting treatment units. The power and torque of the handpiece depend entirely on the unit’s ability to deliver a precise, consistent flow of essential air and water to the cutting instrument. Many traditional systems typically rely on numerous moving metal and rubber components within their control mechanisms to manage these vital services. Over time, these components can wear out or degrade, causing system failure or leaks that lead to fluctuations in handpiece performance. This phenomenon is widespread and is one of the most disruptive and costly maintenance challenges in dental units.
Fimet solves this problem with a precision-engineered control block designed with no moving parts. Made from durable, non-metallic, and corrosion-resistant materials, it delivers stable, virtually leak-free operation—ensuring dependable handpiece performance day after day. Thanks to its innovative engineering and long-lasting durability, the F1 high-tech handpiece delivery system control block is backed by an industry-leading 5-year parts warranty, making it a trusted choice for dental professionals around the world.

Reliable. Efficient. Cost-Effective.

Fimet’s innovative system isn’t just about better technology—it makes sound business sense. With fewer breakdowns, less maintenance, and improved efficiency, your practice can operate more smoothly and profitably.

“more for less”

Relaxed

Stress-Free Visit

A visit to the dentist can make some patients feel anxious, that’s why our treatment rooms are thoughtfully designed to ease nerves and create a welcoming, calm environment from the very start. FIMET whip-arm treatment units play a big role in this experience. With its extraordinary positioning flexibility, we can adapt the unit to suit each patient’s individual comfort and clinical needs, all while keeping instruments like drills discreetly out of direct patient view until they’re needed. This small but important detail helps reduce patient anxiety and creates a more relaxed, stress-free visit.

WHS

Fimet dental chairs and treatment units align with the latest Workplace Health and Safety recommendations for cordless controls in dental clinics. 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.

Hygiene

Control cords on the floor can be harder to clean effectively, especially if they are in frequent contact with surfaces that might become contaminated and can be a challenge to keep sanitized.

Fewer Breakdowns – Lower Running Expenses

Control cords are prone to wear and tear, including fraying, cracking, or damage from constant movement. This can result in costly replacements and service disruptions, potentially affecting patient care.

Ergonomics

Corded controls can be awkward to use from certain positions or angles, affecting the ergonomics of the dental professionals. This can lead to discomfort and even long-term musculoskeletal issues due to awkward body positioning when trying to adjust equipment. For comfort, safety, and efficiency in your workflow, a cordless foot control can make a noticeable difference, it’s an ideal choice for high-volume or technology-forward dental practices.

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