Clinical Tip

HyFlex EDM is electro-discharge-machined CM-Wire that regenerates its shape in the autoclave and is reusable within limits, with a OneFile 25/~ plus orifice opener, glide path and finishing sizes at 400 RPM / 2.5 Ncm; RACE EVO is a single-use blue heat-treated three-file sequence at 800–1000 RPM / 1.5 Ncm. Choose HyFlex EDM for extreme curvature and reuse, RACE EVO for a fast uniform-setting sequence.

## Key Features

HyFlex EDM

EDM + CM-Wire with regenerative memory — manufacturer reports enhanced fatigue resistance (bench data; figures vary by comparator and test setup)

RACE EVO

Latest evolution of the RaCe family — heat-treated NiTi with blue color, simple 3-file 1-2-3 sequence (glide path + 2 shapers), uniform 800-1000 RPM / 1.5 Ncm settings across all files, up to 2.8x cyclic fatigue resistance vs RaCe
