NiTi Alloy

C.Wire (Controlled Memory)

C.Wire is Micro-Mega's controlled-memory NiTi alloy, sharing the fundamental thermal processing philosophy of CM-Wire but formulated specifically for their file systems. Like CM-Wire, C.Wire dramatically reduces shape-memory behavior, allowing files to be bent by hand and retain the curve for pre-placement adaptation to the canal. The alloy provides significantly improved cyclic fatigue resistance compared to austenitic NiTi, enabling single-file rotary workflows in curved anatomy. C.Wire files can be pre-bent without risk of the instrument springing back, and they passively follow the canal path after shaping without exerting restoring forces.
