SPACE SAVING

DRILL

POSITIONING FEATURE

The strategic placement of the Fimet Whip-Arm DRILL module away from high-traffic areas optimizes the available space in the treatment room, creating a more organized and efficient layout.

Improved Patient Entry and Exit
This thoughtful and creative DRILL positioning ensures easier and more comfortable patient entry and exit, enhancing the overall patient experience.

Free and Safe Movement for Staff
Staff can move freely and safely around the equipment, with no obstructions, leading to a smoother workflow and reduced risk of accidents.

Minimizes Patient Anxiety
Bulky equipment with drills visible can sometimes evoke feelings of discomfort or anxiety for patients. By creatively positioning the drills out of direct sight, the compact design of Fimet reduces the visual impact of the equipment, creating a less intimidating environment for patients who may already feel nervous about dental visits.

Ideal for Areas with Limited Space
The innovative design is particularly suitable for treatment rooms with limited space, ensuring that the room remains functional without sacrificing comfort for both staff and patients.

HYGIENE

Corded devices can be harder to clean effectively, especially if they are in frequent contact with surfaces that might become contaminated. Accordingly, they can be a challenge to keep sanitized.

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.

WEAR & TEAR

 Over time, 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.

MAINTENANCE MADE EASY

Clean and clear Nordic design ensures effortless maintenance. The smooth surfaces with a minimum amount of joints and gaps makes daily cleaning and maintenance fluent and quick. You and your team will have more time to focus on your patient. The materials that we have selected are durable, long-lasting and will withstand wear and tear as well as the commonly used surface cleaning agents.

WELL-BEING and MORALE

A thoughtful and well-designed treatment unit which fits comfortably can maintain overall morale and job satisfaction. When the workspace is comfortable and easy to navigate, staff members are less likely to experience fatigue, physical strain, or stress.

AMBIDEXTROUS

Additionally, ambidextrous conversion is simple and rapid, ensuring flexibility for practitioners.

WorkSafe

Where possible, switch to cordless or battery-operated equipment to eliminate cords entirely.

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 in dental clinics, WorkSafe recommendations generally focus on both eliminating or minimizing the hazard and implementing controls to ensure safety.

Due to these factors, many modern dental units are moving towards wireless controls to improve efficiency, reduce clutter, and enhance ergonomics in the dental practice.

less tiring less stressful design

Dr. R. Slattery. Perth. Western Australia

cut and contour with ease, precision and without strain

“The instruments need to be somewhere convenient so that you just move your hand to get them. This is the most ergonomic design and the least stressful for the dentist,” Dr Slattery explains. “If you have to change the focus of your eyes, [between looking at the patient’s mouth and finding the instruments] it is very tiring, especially when you see so many patients each day. With the whip arm you know the instruments are always there laid out on the tray and are spring-loaded on the arm, so you pull them towards you. It is easy to use and the instruments are light weight in the hand. It really works very nicely and is positioned so the patients can’t see it. I was worried they’d be frightened by it but that’s not a problem.”

ergonomic design aims to enhance efficiency by streamlining workflow processes and minimizing unnecessary movements. This includes optimizing the layout of instruments, equipment and patient positioning to facilitate smooth and uninterrupted workflow, leading to improved productivity and patient outcomes. Free from the hassles of “pullback” and unnatural time-consuming motions required to lock and unlock devices every time the drill is used, the ergonomic counterbalancing and positioning features of the F1 whip arm treatment systems are unique to FIMET and are unmatched in quality and performance. F1 treatment systems stand as a paragon of precision manufacturing rewarding dental professionals with shorter treatment times, improved outcomes and reduced risk of strain and fatigue extending careers

latest EMERGENCY STOP features

Fimet treatment systems made in Finland are CE certified under the the EU’s product certification system which is recognized Worldwide for its high standards of safety, quality, and environmental sustainability. Rapid deactivation of chair movement and unit functions in medical emergencies and avoidance of unexpected equipment damage is a welcome feature of F1 treatment systems. In addition to the emergency STOP button located on the lower section of the chair, ceasing all functions rapidly can also be achieved by moving the backrest slightly forward. Should the emergency STOP features be inadvertently triggered, applying light downward pressure on the backrest or applying a simple twist on the emergency STOP button will automatically reset all functions instantly

COMFORT & SUPPORT

multiple chair adjustments and soft upholstery provides absolute comfort and support to patients of all shapes and sizes

QUIETER PATIENT EXPERIENCE

handpieces are truly a “workhorse” of the dental practice and electric handpieces are gaining popularity for good reasons – consistent speed and torque levels, precise margins, and a quieter experience for the patient are several key reasons for clinicians’ preference for electric handpieces. Additionally, the ability to alter a variety of speeds and settings for different clinical situations results in overall better performance and improved patient outcomes. Fimet remote control treatment units incorporate built-in electronics enabling investors to seamlessly incorporate electric handpieces into the practice

FIMET has a long history in the manufacturing of dental equipment, which began in the early 1980’s. The FIMET mission has always been to put our best foot forward and to design and produce affordable, yet high-quality, dental units to meet your needs and expectations

I have the F1 whip arm delivery system and my favorite feature has been the zero resistance from pull back with the hoses (especially after breaking and weakening my right wrist 4 years ago)
