Infection control isn’t just a rule—it’s one of the clearest ways to show patients you care. At Anthos Australia, we’ve supported dental surgeries across the country for nearly 40 years, watching infection control shift from a basic checkbox to a key part of patient care and clinic standards.

Today’s patients expect more—more transparency, more trust, more visible care. Sanitiser and spotless benchtops aren’t enough. Modern surgeries need dental units designed for built-in, intelligent hygiene that delivers consistent, efficient infection control.

Here, we explore why that matters—and how the right equipment can make all the difference. Because wellness today isn’t just about comfort. It’s about safety. And it starts the moment your patient sits in the chair.

The chair isn’t just furniture—it’s the frontline of infection prevention. We’ve helped thousands of surgeries move from basic hygiene to fully integrated control systems, built on global best practice and local know-how.

What Smarter Infection Control Looks Like

Modern infection control is about embedding smarter systems. That’s why the Anthos chair range has been engineered with modular, intelligent infection control kits that allow clinics to build a setup that suits both their protocols and their patients.

Here’s what’s available across all models:

Standard on every Anthos chair:

S.H.S. (Sanitisation of the Hydraulic System) – A manual process that keeps internal lines sanitised through regular cycles, helping reduce biofilm and microbial risk.

O.D.R. (Out-of-Place Device Rinse) – Automatically expels fluids from handpieces post-procedure to prevent internal contamination.

Optional, future-proofed kits (available anytime—even post-install):

W.H.E. (Water Hygiene Ensurance) – Certified continuous waterline disinfection with anti-backflow protection.

BIOSTER + FLUSH – Delivers deep-cycle and continuous internal sanitisation, ideal for high-volume or surgical environments.

A.C.V.S. (Automatic Cleaning Vacuum System) – Self-cleans suction lines between patients with the push of a button.

These systems integrate seamlessly into your workflow, removing the need for manual flushing, reducing turnaround time between patients, and delivering confidence to both you and the people in your care.

Why It Matters—Clinically and Commercially

Infection control is now a visible part of the patient experience. The more informed and health-conscious your patients are, the more your behind-the-scenes processes matter to them. Having intelligent disinfection systems, autoclavable components, and antimicrobial surfaces isn’t just best practice—it’s a business differentiator.

It also supports compliance with global standards, like EN 1717, helping practices stay audit-ready while demonstrating a proactive, risk-aware approach to care.

Built for Today, Designed for Tomorrow

Anthos chairs aren’t just designed for hygiene; they’re built for future adaptability. From conservative dentistry to implant surgery, they support the full spectrum of clinical work. The infection control features are modular, meaning practices can start with essentials and scale up as their needs grow, without replacing their equipment.

And because we’ve serviced thousands of clinics across Australia, we know what works in real practice conditions—not just on paper.
