Foot Control and Ergonomics

Geared for comfort, from head to toe –
hygiene as standard.

Your hands are busy treating the patient? Then simply operate your KaVo treatment unit with your foot. Your hands remain free as you focus on the treatment in the oral cavity. By gently touching the pedals of your KaVo foot control you can access all instrument and chair functions. The foot control can also be used to conveniently control the patient communication functions of the KaVo ESTETICA treatment units.

Wireless foot control for even more comfort.

Alternatively, if you do not want any cable on the floor, choose the wireless foot control for your treatment unit instead of the cable version. It is available for KaVo ESTETICA E80, E70 and E50. The wireless version of the foot control features the same functions and ergonomics as the wired foot control. 

Increase the safety through the absence of a connecting cable between the treatment unit and the foot control. In addition, the possibility of free positioning promotes an ergonomic working posture. Enjoy an even greater level of comfort.

Hygiene by design.

There is hardly a more efficient way to prevent cross infection than to avoid contact. With the KaVo foot control you do not have to touch the dentist element or the patient chair during treatment and can thus avoid cross contamination in your practice. The wireless foot control does not even have cables that would need cleaning.

No more muscle tightness.

Conventional devices are controlled by varying muscle tension, with an up-and-down movement of your foot. KaVo has a different approach: it doesn’t require this method of operation, which becomes strenuous over time.

Instead, your KaVo treatment unit is precisely controlled by a gentle, effortless right/left movement of your foot. This keeps your leg muscles relaxed even after working for a long time, regardless of whether you are sitting or standing during treatment.

Highlights and advantages for you.

  • Operation of chair, instrument and patient communication functions
  • No fatigue thanks to a right-left movement
  • Easy, precise speed control
  • Improved hygiene, especially prevention of cross infections
  • Can be placed anywhere, with the suspended chair of our KaVo ESTETICA E70/E80 Vision even under the patient chair
  • Wireless foot control (optional) with latency-free signal transmission, for even more hygiene by omitting cables altogether
