Foot Controller

Premium accessories for Diplomat Dental Pro and One Dental treatment units.

We have created a new foot control design to easily control dental assemblies. Combining a lever, and top and side buttons will allow for an optimal ergonomic environment for the dentist. The durable design visually synchronized with the dental assemblies will create an optimal working environment and easy operation of the dental device.
