Ergonomics, patient comfort, and intuitive design come together in Diplomat Dental’s latest feature: the folding knee chair, now available for the Model Pro 600 and Model Pro 800 treatment units. This practical enhancement redefines how dentists and patients experience the dental chair — offering greater flexibility, improved accessibility, and thoughtful innovation at every level.

This new seating option is the result of listening closely to the needs of modern clinics. From small private practices to larger multi-unit environments, today’s dental professionals need equipment that supports both performance and patient care. That’s why the Model Pro 600/800 is now available with the folding knee chair and an automatically extending footrest — a game-changing combo for better access, smoother workflows, and added clinical value.

With a lower seat height of just 350 mm (with the lift version), seating becomes effortless — especially for elderly patients or those with limited mobility. The smart, curved seat design supports smooth and strain-free positioning, reducing physical effort for both the patient and the dental team. The chair adapts fluidly to any treatment style, while also encouraging more natural communication between dentist and patient thanks to the integrated tablet interface.

This seamless approach to ergonomics isn’t just about function — it’s about creating a space where efficiency, comfort, and design work together in harmony. The folding knee chair maintains the clean visual language of the Pro series while significantly improving mobility around the treatment area. More legroom for the practitioner and better positioning options allow for greater comfort during long procedures, particularly from the 12 o’clock position.

The folding knee chair and automatic footrest are now available as configuration options for the Diplomat Model Pro 600 and Diplomat Model Pro 800. Contact your Diplomat Dental representative or authorized dealer to learn more or request a demonstration.
