“The durability of Fimet digital units is impressive. Minimal mechanical parts mean fewer repairs, and we can rely on consistent performance day after day.”

Dr. Anika Mehta – Mumbai, India
“Fimet digital technology has helped our clinic modernize without the worry of high maintenance costs. It’s a long-term investment that pays off in efficiency and patient satisfaction.”

Flexible Positioning

The Fimet 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.

This innovative configuration allows the assistant to manage instruments and support tasks more effectively, helping optimize workflow throughout treatment. It also enables room turnover activities to begin discreetly while the dentist concludes the appointment, contributing to greater efficiency and a more seamless patient experience.

Least Stressful Design

Everything Within Easy Reach

Motion Perfected

Designed for clinicians who rely on rotary instruments daily, this system transforms an essential decision into a long-term advantage. Fimet whip-arm instrument delivery systems represent the pinnacle of precision engineering and ergonomic innovation—crafted to minimize physical strain, accelerate treatment times, and elevate the quality of precision work in every procedure. With zero pullback and no locking devices, the lightweight, smooth-gliding whip arm ensures effortless handling and optimal positioning, even during extended procedures—delivering minimal strain, maximum efficiency, and a seamless working experience from start to finish.

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.”

The Neo cuspidor swings open up to 45 degrees, creating additional space for the assistant and allowing easy placement of sedation, surgical, or monitoring equipment. Flexible floor box positioning in front or to the side of chair can save thousands of dollars in costly renovation expenses.

Oil-Free Treatment Chair

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.

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. 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.

cordless foot pedal

Pioneers in advanced cordless remote-control safety dental chairs and treatment units, Fimet state-of-the-art systems are designed to streamline workflows, reduce tripping hazards from floor cables and improve hygiene through touch-free operation.

Simple to Use

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 – Hygiene

Eliminating cords from the floor minimizes tripping hazards and makes the operatory easier to clean and sanitize effectively.

Reduce Costs

Transitioning from mechanically to remote-control treatment systems offers a cost-effective way to boost reliability and cut ongoing operational expenses.

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.

latest SAFETY DESIGN features

Fimet treatment systems, manufactured in Finland, are CE certified under the European Union’s product certification framework, which is internationally recognized for its stringent standards in safety, quality, and environmental sustainability.

Water leaks in dental chairs and treatment systems can affect electrical components, potentially leading to abnormal equipment movement and malfunction, highlighting the critical importance of promptly identifying and repairing leaks. This also reinforces the value of integrated water-sensor safeguard systems, which Fimet has incorporated into its latest Arcus and Neo product ranges.

In addition, multiple integrated safety stop mechanisms—located on the lower section of the chair, the suction arm, and the chair backrest—allow chair functions to be halted instantly. If accidentally activated, these systems can be easily reset by returning the components to their normal positions, helping ensure reliable operation and providing dental teams with confidence in both emergency situations and the prevention of equipment damage.
