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