Flexible integration
The A-dec 500 delivery system integrates everything you need to work efficiently and precisely. The flexible design lets you configure the clinical instruments you choose.
Intelligent control
Built in details and holistic control lets you seamlessly access, activate, and deactivate your clinical instruments without giving it a conscious thought. The equipment disappears, in essence, allowing you to focus on dentistry.
Perfect proximity
Everything you need is easy to position and comfortably within reach. Get comfortable access to your handpieces, ultrasonic instrument, curing light, and intraoral camera.
Uncluttered and uncomplicated
The new Deluxe Plus touchpad minimizes the extraneous and dynamically displays only what you need, when you need it, based on the procedure or task at hand. The screen tilts and the arm rotates for precise viewing from multiple angles.
A-dec 500 delivery system features
Positive positioning. Smoothly and precisely situate the delivery system where you want it, and count on it to stay.
One-handed adjustments. Effortlessly position the delivery system with one hand—or finger if you’d like.
Ambidextrous delivery. Go from left- to right-handed delivery in seconds. The centrally located handle and screen are reachable and visible from either side.
Automatic braking. Grasp the handle and the arm system automatically releases. We call it capacitive activation, but you’ll just call it effortless.
LED coolant indicator. Lights up when a handpiece is lifted so you can make adjustments without second guessing.
Adjustable handpiece holders. Each position is moveable, so you can tilt the handpieces downward to easily grip when in use, and return upright for safety when they’re not.
Customizable placement. With six positions on the control head, you can integrate practically any combination you dream up: from cameras and scalers to curing lights and electric motors.
