APPLE Dental AP026 Dental Unit
The Apple Dental AP-026 is an innovative dental unit that brings strength and ergonomics together to keep up with the demanding pace of modern dentistry. Its specially upgraded 8-LED shadowless reflector, its metal backrest structure with extra resistance to corrosion, and its 45-degree rotating sidebox instrument cabinet that speeds up the assistant's workflow make it stand out among Metco Dental's long-lasting and reliable systems.
The Apple Dental AP-026 was specially designed by carefully examining every working scenario that clinicians and assistants face during a procedure, with the aim of maximising your clinic's productivity. The high-quality ASA acrylic material (also known as acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) used in the body structure and the assistant tablet of this innovative dental unit offers extra resistance against the wear, yellowing and corrosion risks that can result from frequent wiping with alcohol and strong disinfectants, keeping the unit looking hygienic as on the first day for many years.
So that the patient feels unique comfort during treatment and the clinician can approach the working area in a more ergonomic and closer position, the backrest of the patient chair has been upgraded with a slim metal structure; this hardware doubles the structural strength of the backrest while the clinician's leg space is relieved perfectly. The smart instrument layout on the clinician tablet is arranged at a safe angle that prevents the clinician from accidentally touching burs or cutting tips, safeguarding operational safety.
So that assistants can quickly adapt to the treatment position during an operation, the cassette unit (sidebox) can rotate outwards by up to 45 degrees; in addition, the assistant tablet offers four different lockable positions so it can be fixed at exactly the angle required. The multifunctional, finely controlled foot pedal lets you perform many tasks — from chair movement to instrument management — hands-free and hygienically, making it easier to focus on the treatment. Alongside all this robust mechanical hardware, the system is crowned with an advanced 8-LED focused lighting technology that creates a shadow-free, clear view in the operating field and prevents clinician eye strain.
