More than 100 years of KaVo – ergonomics right from the start.
KaVo has always blazed the trail in ergonomics and comfort. KaVo products were developed from an ergonomic point of view as far back as the early 20th century. In 1965 came the ergonomic revolution: a patient chair with a completely new lying position helps dentists maintain a healthy, strain-free posture for the first time.
Patients experienced comfortable treatment that was previously unknown. Free-hanging instrument tubes offer additional ergonomics, minimising the amount of reach required.
KaVo symbolises the highest standards of ergonomics and smooth treatment processes.
Every KaVo product is specifically tailored to the needs of dentists and patients – for excellent ergonomics and maximum comfort.
A dentist carries out around 80,000 treatments during their career. No wonder that many of them suffer from back and neck pain.
Each KaVo product is specifically tailored to your needs so that you can work in a relaxed manner.
Suspension Chair concept
The unique suspension chair concept is our answer to neck and back pain: the free space under the KaVo ESTETICA E70/E80 Vision patient chair enables you and your assistant to maintain healthy, relaxed leg and body positions while being close enough to the patient.
Excellent for Ergonomics
KaVo ESTETICA E70/E80 Vision treatment units and the PHYSIO Evo dentist’s chair have been awarded the ergonomic seal of approval from the "Campaign for Healthier Backs" association (AGR). This is the first time, and to date, the only time that the coveted title has been awarded to dental practice equipment.
Ergonomics regardless of height
The extremely low position of 350 mm enables natural posture for patients in a sitting or lying position – even for short practitioners. The maximum position of 900 mm (KaVo ESTETICA E70/E80 Vision) or 830 mm (KaVo Primus 1058 Life, KaVo ESTETICA E50 Life) also enables dentists who are taller than 1.80 metres to work in an ergonomic position.
Relaxation from head to toe
The KaVo foot control – optionally as flexible positioned wireless foot control – is operated with simple left to right movements. Without strenuous up and down movements, your leg muscles are freed of tension, even during long sitting or standing treatments.
Consistent field of work
With the horizontal shift of the KaVo ESTETICA E80 Vision, the practitioner can change treatment positions, maintaining the position of the patient’s head without increasing the range of reach.
Closer, closer – The Progress Backrest 
Small differences in design often make a big difference in daily treatments. The best example of this is the particularly narrow Progress backrest, which is available for all treatment units and, thanks to its narrow shape, offers a back-friendly working posture possibility, providing optimal access to the patient.
Double duty ergonomics : for you and your assistant
All doctor and assistant elements can be swivelled and adjusted in height and can be positioned to ergonomic perfection – regardless of whether treatment is performed while standing or sitting.
The optional swing arm version with a low table height of 45 cm and balanced swing arms offers optimum ergonomics. The instrument tubes with an extension length of 90 cm allow maximum freedom of movement.
Trendelburg means : Treating in total relaxation
In order to achieve the Trendelenburg patient position, the footrest tilts and lifts automatically to matchthe tilt of the backrest. The lying position remains ergonomic, preventing the patient’s back from being compressed or stretched when the backrest is positioned. In addition, your patients stay relaxed and you can treat them for longer in total comfort.
Ergonomics with heads and shoulders above 
With the infinitely adjustable head tilt angle, you can adjust the headrest and thus the position of the head and the mouth. Your patients will feel relaxed on the comfortable and easy-to-position comfort headrest and you will constant optimal access to the work area
Raised seat for comfortable lying over long periods of time
With the KaVo ESTETICA E80 Vision’s motorised seat lift, patients of different sizes, children and even patients with health restrictions such as hunched back or hollow back are always in the best possible position
Ergonomics at its best, with additional features and unimpeded access
Some KaVo treatment units are available as righthanded or left-handed versions. In addition, many have an integrated endo and surgery function as standard or optional, saving you additional avenues and investments.
Obviously ergonomic
The natural white light of the KaVoLUX 540 LED enables optimum visibility. The COMPOsave mode, which prevents fillings from hardening prematurely, keeps the dentist from being rushed. The KaVoLUX 540 LED is automatically switched on and off in accordance with the automatic positions of the treatment centre. The user can also control the most important functions such as dimming and switching on and off without contact.
