Set to debut at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting, Engle announces a new Rear Delivery as the perfect space-saving addition to the Engle Traverse Chair.  Designed with feedback gathered from dentists nationwide, Engle engineered the Rear Delivery for efficient and ergonomic two- or four-handed dentistry. The unit is available in doctor and assistant or assistant-only configurations and is the ideal complement to the Traverse Chair and the 10” of extra space it provides behind the patient.

Engle introduced its exclusive Traverse Chair in 2010, and while the chair has always enjoyed a loyal following, it has recently gained widespread popularity as operatories become smaller and dentists look to do more with less space.   The traverse function has recently been embraced by DSOs (Dental Service Organizations) who look to the Traverse Chair as a valuable space-saving tool in allowing more operatories within each location.

“With the growing popularity of the Traverse Chair, we felt that it was important to be able to offer a rear delivery system to complement the chair and as a way to further optimize operatory space,” stated Dave Maynard, Head of Product Development at Engle.  “We wanted to create a delivery system that allows dentists to take full advantage of the 10” of space behind the patient that the traverse feature provides,” Maynard continued.  The Engle unit is floor-mounted and compatible with new or existing cabinetry.  The Rear Delivery also comes with handpiece lockout on the control head as a standard feature.

Ergonomics are always paramount in Engle design, and the Rear Delivery is no exception.  The delivery system features a compact and adjustable control head and a spacious 22” adjustable-height work space.  Combined with the zero-clearance design of the all-hydraulic Traverse Chair, the pair provides for uncrowded rear operation, perfect for 12 o’clock position.  

The Engle Rear Delivery System will be available for purchase beginning in February, 2018 through Engle dealers and distributors.
