Tech Connect Operatory Package

Power your technology right from the dental chair for seamless chairside access

As dental technology continues to grow and become the new standard of care, a mounting concern comes to mind: Where do you put it all? In an already cramped operatory, it can be challenging to keep these everyday treatment tools within reach during an appointment without creating a spiderweb of wires or an accident waiting to happen. And according to Engle Dental Product Manager Carolyn Seitz, the accidents are already in full swing.

“Clinicians would tell us that their sensors were getting snapped in half in the cabinet because that’s where they kept them,” she said. “So, we started thinking about how we could upgrade the dental chair’s control head to make it more tech-friendly, given the fact that more and more dentists are using digital sensors, cameras, and tablets in their offices—not only for treatment, but to manage patient records.”

Powered Through the Chair
Engle is no stranger to tech—its signature Traverse hydraulic chair has a 10-inch forward/backward capability and built-in audio connectivity, along with optional luxury perks like heat, massage, and Ultraleather upholstery—but the new Tech Connect Operatory Package takes tech-friendly to the next level. The one-of-a-kind operatory system is an upgrade on the delivery unit that plugs in and powers a practice’s existing digital technology right from the dental chair.

The heart of the solution is an intuitive control head that’s prewired with HDMI cabling, 2 USB ports for internal/external use, and a built-in digital sensor holder that creates simple chairside access to tools like handpieces, intraoral cameras, digital sensors, tablets, and monitors from any manufacturer. So, instead of breaking digital tools, buying multiples, or losing them between operatories, they’re plugged in and powered up in a convenient place.

“The chair and delivery unit are where dentists spend most of their time, so this is a convenient way for them and their staff to keep the technology that they already have integrated and compatible,” said Seitz. “And it is quite unique that you can have multiple devices connected into the control head.”
