Dentsply Sirona has introduced the INTEGO Ambidextrous treatment centre that caters to both right- and the estimated 10% of left-handed practitioners.
The INTEGO Ambidextrous offers a treatment centre with a sophisticated mechanism that can be converted in next to no time: Just a few steps and a right-handed treatment centre becomes a left-handed one and vice versa. This flexibility gives a long-term perspective: Both right-handed and left-handed practitioners can work on the same treatment centre. This is especially of interest for group practices and dental practice networks with numerous clinicians, but also if a practice changes ownership.
Elegant swivel mechanism
Swivel from right-handed to left-handed treatment is extremely straightforward: A pedal on the water tower can be released by foot and then will be moved around the chair. At the same time, the backrest moves automatically to the right position. Then the operating light, monitor and dentist element are repositioned. This process takes less than 60 seconds and no tools are required. It can easily be carried out between patients for optimal ergonomic comfort.
It meets the high standards of the Dentsply Sirona infection control concept and no kneeling or squatting is required. The intuitive and precise swivel movement minimises the risk of damage to hoses or the collision with other components. This is ensured by the water tower moving in parallel as it automatically remains in the correct position. No choreography is required for the conversion, nor is special training necessary: The swivel mechanism is self-explanatory and extremely easy to implement.
Ergonomically optimised and hygienically safe
The INTEGO Ambidextrous (also available as INTEGO pro Ambidextrous) treatment centre offers an ergonomic workflow. Every dentist profits from the flexibly positionable components, such as the dentist element, which can be selected either as the TS model with hanging hoses or CS with whip arms. An optional hygiene system can be integrated in the water unit to ensure optimal hygienic conditions during treatment - this is unique for any swivel treatment centre on the market.
"This makes INTEGO Ambidextrous a byword for a practice concept without compromises, offering full flexibility for practitioners and assistants alike," said Susanne Schmidinger, Head of Product Management, Dentsply Sirona Treatment Centers, Germany. "And it meets the ergonomic demands of right-handed and left-handed dentists equally."
