Clinical Tip
EdgeOne Fire is a single-use FireWire reciprocating system on WaveOne-compatible motor settings, starting with the Primary file; TF Adaptive is twisted R-Phase NiTi whose motion shifts between rotation and reciprocation under load and needs the Kerr Elements-class motor program. Choose EdgeOne Fire if you already run WaveOne settings, TF Adaptive if you own the Kerr motor and want load-adaptive kinematics.
