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)
Traverse
Rotary glide path system with orifice opener and two glide path file sizes — pre-sterilized, triangular cross-section, higher torsional resistance vs competitors (manufacturer comparison)
