     Fimet Neo combines innovative solutions with elegant design. The treatment systems are ergonomic, high-quality units that can be customized for each user’s needs and preferences.

Unobstructive Flow of Movement

Compact Design

The strategic positioning of the Neo whip-arm drill unit to the assistance side creates an open clutter-free workspace allowing staff and patients to move easily and safely throughout the operatory, obstruction free. 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 safety, hygiene and infection control. Flexible service box location can be placed in front or side of chair saving costly plumbing, electrical and refurbishment expenses.

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.

⚠️ Important:

Chronic or repeated exposure to oil mist or vapors should not be ignored — it’s a workplace health issue.
Oil-liquid hydraulic dental chairs can develop leaks over time, leading to unpleasant odors, slippery floors, and increased maintenance needs. In enclosed clinical spaces, oil fumes may cause discomfort for patients and staff, especially those sensitive to odors or with breathing concerns. Spills also require careful cleanup to maintain hygiene and safety standards. For these reasons, many practices are moving toward cleaner, low-maintenance alternatives that improve air quality, reliability, and overall patient experience.

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.

Fimet is recognized as a pioneer in cordless, remote-controlled dental treatment units, designed to streamline workflows, eliminate tripping hazards caused by floor cables, and enhance hygiene through touch-free operation.

Greater Peace of Mind

compliance speaks louder than any marketing reel

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.

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.

Everything Within Easy Reach

Ease Of Use

Zero Pullback – Free of Locking Devices

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.

Dr. R. Slattery

“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.”
