DRILL POWER

Precision You Can Rely On

Reliable and consistent handpiece cutting power is essential to perform efficient, high-quality procedures. Drops in handpiece power and torque is often caused by leaks as a result of worn components within the treatment unit’s control system. Fimet systems address this challenge with a precision-engineered control block that has no moving parts. Constructed from durable, non-metallic, corrosion-resistant materials, it delivers a steady, virtually leak-free flow of air and water, ensuring dependable cutting performance. Supported by a 5-year parts warranty, the F1 high-tech delivery system component offers long-lasting reliability that dental professionals around the world trust.

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.

Fast – Safe – Efficient – Hygienic

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.

Greater 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.

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.

Better 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.

Everything Within Easy Reach

Ease Of Use

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. The lightweight, smooth-gliding delivery system with zero pullback and zero locking devices 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 — a hazard that’s 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.

“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 F1 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.”

Remote-Control

Built-in Recharging Capability:

The ability to plug in the unit immediately if the battery is low eliminates procedural downtime.

Backup Functionality:
This built-in flexibility allows the Neo continental Unit to act more like a hybrid (cordless, when possible, wired when necessary), improving reliability and operational readiness.

Fewer Moving and Wearing Parts:
Lower Maintenance Demand
By reducing the number of moving and mechanical parts, Fimet’s cordless system likely experiences less wear and tear, leading to fewer breakdowns and longer operational life.

Simplified Servicing:
Fewer mechanical components typically mean easier troubleshooting, faster repairs, and potentially lower long-term service costs.

Conclusion
Fimet’s design choices—emergency plug-in capability and streamlined internal mechanics—directly address common cordless concerns like power reliability and mechanical complexity. These features make Fimet cordless treatment units not only safer and more hygienic but also more robust and user-friendly for dental professionals.

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-saving, efficiency, and environmental benefits, making them a more attractive option for today’s modern dental practices.
