Key Features
ESX
Two-file shaping system with patented ACP (Alternating Contact Point) design and Booster Tip for minimally invasive canal preparation at 500-600 RPM
Vortex Blue
Blue heat treatment provides min 65% better cyclic fatigue resistance vs M-Wire NiTi and at least 42% higher peak torque strength (manufacturer data)
