Key Features

EdgeTaper Platinum

ProTaper-compatible constant-taper multi-file sequence with FireWire heat treatment for enhanced cyclic fatigue resistance (manufacturer bench data: 2x vs ProTaper Gold)

PX Wave

Single 15/.02 (ISO 015/.02) instrument at 300 rpm and 5.0 N·cm torque (per IFU spec table). Brand name "Wave" is consistent with a reciprocating instrument but the PX Wave IFU text does not explicitly call out reciprocating motion — motion type inferred from product family naming
