A-dec foot control

A-dec has released a new lever foot control, engineered specifically for improved control of electric motors. The new A-dec lever foot control represents the next step in foot control design, allowing precise speed modulation of both electric handpieces and air driven turbines. The lever style allows the operator to switch between cutting wet or dry, without looking away from the oral cavity. Ergonomically, the lever design allows more operator weight transfer from seat to feet, enabling an “athletic stance” and “S” curvature of the spine for improved posture. Once the desired handpiece speed is reached, the operator can rest their foot flat on the floor and continue to work in a more relaxed state. The lever design means there is no stress on the leg or foot to maintain a constant speed - in much the same manner as a “cruise control”. Once the desired speed is set, the operator can relax their foot. Small adjustments can be made with very little pressure on the lever.
