Compliance doesn’t have to come at a premium cost. A top-of-the-range Fimet remote-control treatment unit, built to last over 10 years, can be purchased for as little as $35 a day.
Whether you’re setting up a new clinic or upgrading an existing space, now’s the time to eliminate inefficiencies and lift performance.
Future-Proof Your Dental Practice
By investing in a thoughtfully designed treatment unit that prioritizes safety, ergonomic efficiency, and compliance with Australian WHS and infection control standards, you’re building more than a functional clinic. You’re creating a streamlined, future-ready practice—one that improves workflow, reduces unnecessary movement, supports your team’s wellbeing, enhances the patient experience, and maximizes the return on every dollar invested.
Because many treatments require a consistent amount of clinical time, the real productivity advantage lies in optimizing everything around them.

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
Hygiene Compatibility
Supports waterline disinfection protocols
Meets Australian ADA infection control guidelines
4. Clinical Workflow Efficiency
Flexible whip-arm positioning supports multiple clinical techniques
Assistant remains stationary during chair repositioning or instrument parking
Optimized for 4-handed dentistry and high patient throughput
Reduces turnaround time between procedures
5. Safety Features
Oil-free hydraulic system reduces contamination risk
Low-voltage operation enhances electrical safety
Stable, compact base reduces collision hazards
Wireless remote control reduces cross-contamination surfaces
6. Technology & Ergonomics
Key platform features:
Wireless remote control (cordless operation)
Whip-arm instruments positioned to dentist or assistant side
Parking mode allows clear patient entry/exit
Adjustable chair and delivery for ambidextrous workflows
Open operatory layout improves team movement and emergency access
7. Comparative Advantage
Compared to traditional fixed or bridge-mounted units:
Greater flexibility in instrument positioning
Superior patient access and operatory clearance
Reduced physical strain on staff
Enhanced WorkSafe (WHS) compliance through hazard elimination
8. Compliance Statement
When installed and operated according to:
Australian WHS (Work Health & Safety) regulations
Australian Dental Association (ADA) Infection Control Guidelines
Manufacturer’s instructions and maintenance protocols
Fimet Whip-Arm Remote-Control units provide high standards of clinical safety, infection control, and ergonomic compliance, suitable for modern Australian dental clinics.
9. Conclusion
Fimet Whip-Arm Remote-Control dental treatment units enable:
Safe patient entry/exit
Reduced workplace hazards
Efficient infection control and rapid changeover
High-performance ergonomics for staff
These systems are therefore considered ideal for compliant, safe, and efficient dental operatory environments in Australia.
Unobstructed Workflow
Innovative parking of the doctor’s instrument bridge on the assistant’s side keeps the patient area clear, minimizes congestion, and allows the assistant to work comfortably without unnecessary movement. This thoughtful setup enables faster clean-up, improves overall workflow, and makes it easier for both staff and patients to move through the space with ease. With the assistant managing instruments efficiently on their side, the clean-up process can take place seamlessly while the dentist closes up—keeping the patient largely unaware of any turnover activity. This enhances the patient experience by maintaining a calm, uninterrupted environment while maximizing operational productivity.
“I can’t really imagine how much difference that has made over the years in time and ease”.

Drill Power
Technology Breakthrough
In today’s fast-paced clinical environment, reliability isn’t optional—it’s critical. Consistent drill power and torque are essential for precise, high-quality dentistry, yet many traditional systems still rely on wear-prone mechanical and rubber components that lead to performance fluctuations, unexpected breakdowns, costly downtime, and high ongoing maintenance costs.
While competitors emphasize large service networks and extended warranties, these solutions are designed to respond to failure—not prevent it. FIMET takes a more advanced, forward-thinking approach: engineering out the root causes of disruption before they occur.
Inspired by the demanding and remote conditions of Finland—where dependable performance is non-negotiable—FIMET has redefined system reliability. Its remote-control infrastructure eliminates numerous mechanical switching components that would otherwise degrade with daily use, significantly reducing potential failure points—without the need for a large and costly service network.
At the core of the F1 system, a sophisticated handpiece control block delivers a continuous, precisely regulated flow of air and water, ensuring stable, consistent cutting power from the first procedure to the last. Engineered to be virtually leak-free, highly wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, the system maintains optimal pressure and torque without interruption. This state-of-the-art design is supported by a comprehensive 5-year parts warranty.
The result is confidence you can rely on every day: fewer disruptions, minimal maintenance, and a significant reduction in costly downtime. In an environment where efficiency and continuity matter more than ever, FIMET delivers predictable, uninterrupted performance—keeping practices running smoothly and productively.
FIMET doesn’t just prepare for breakdowns—it is built to prevent them, delivering true peace of mind through reliability by design.

ACL
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. 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.

oil-free
dental chairs
Fimet chairs are free from hydraulic oils/liquids which can be considered more environmentally friendly. There’s no risk of fluid spills and they typically have less impact on disposal concerns. A liquid-free system reduces the risk of contamination from leaking fluids, which could compromise the cleanliness and safety of the dental office. Overall, Fimet liquid-free dental chairs offer a combination of cost-savings, efficiency, and environmental benefits, making them a more attractive option for today’s modern dental practices.
