Cordless Control

compliance speaks louder than any marketing reel

Fimet dental chairs and treatment units are designed in line with leading workplace health and safety guidelines for cordless control devices in dental clinics. Explore the exceptional features that make Fimet treatment units a trusted and preferred choice among dental professionals.

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

buying dental chairs tethered with control cords

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.

Environmentally Friendly

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.

Electrical Safety

Fimet low voltage electrical infrastructure is considered a safer dental treatment unit alternative to high voltage systems, particularly when moisture contamination is considered. Low voltage systems reduce the chance of serious electrical hazards in such conditions. Electrical codes often have less stringent requirements for low-voltage installations, making them easier to set up and maintain.

The Freedom Your Clinic Deserves

The Hidden Strain Beneath the Chair

For years, dentists have mastered precision in the smallest of spaces — yet one of the greatest sources of daily strain often lies underfoot. Traditional corded floor controls tethered to dental chairs silently dictate how a clinician moves. Every shift, every stretch, every repositioning is met with resistance from tangled cords or limited range. Over time, that constant need to adjust — to accommodate the equipment rather than the body — adds up. Fimet’s design philosophy eliminates that barrier. With modern, wireless and freely positioned foot controls, movement becomes fluid again. No cords to pull, no anchors to trip over. Every shift in position is natural and ergonomic — supporting balanced posture and continuous focus.

Compact Design

Unobstructed Flow of Movement

Innovative positioning of the DRILLS to the assistant’s side provides more space for patients and staff to maneuver easily and safely within the operatory, obstruction free.

Fimet doesn’t just equip your operatory—it transforms it.

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.”

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.

Everything Within Easy Reach

Ease of Use

Ergonomic

Fimet whip-arm instrument delivery systems represent the pinnacle of precision engineering and ergonomic innovation—designed to minimize physical strain, accelerate treatment times, and elevate the quality of precision work in every procedure. With zero pullback and zero locking devices, the lightweight, smooth-gliding delivery system is designed for simplicity and ease of use, ensuring optimal positioning for longer procedures with minimal strain and maximum efficiency.

Transitioning from Hanging Hose to Whip-Arm Systems

Switching from a hanging hose system to a whip-arm (Continental) delivery system may take some getting used to at first — particularly in terms of handpiece positioning and reach. However, most users find that the benefits quickly outweigh the learning curve. Improved ergonomics, reduced fatigue, and better hygiene make it a transition that’s well worth the adjustment. It’s also important to consider safety: hanging hoses can pose a tripping hazard for both staff and patients, especially in busy operatories. Loose or extended hoses can dangle or trail near the floor, increasing the risk of accidental trips or entanglement and compromising hygiene, hazards that are virtually eliminated with whip-arm systems which keep handpieces suspended and controlled above the patient. Some clinicians may have previously tried whip-arm systems on units where the design wasn’t fully refined — and didn’t find the experience ideal. In these cases, it’s well worth trying a system where the whip-arm design has been properly perfected. The difference in comfort, control, safety, and workflow efficiency can be significant when the system is well engineered.
