Key Features
HyFlex EDM
EDM + CM-Wire with regenerative memory — manufacturer reports enhanced fatigue resistance (bench data; figures vary by comparator and test setup)
XP-endo Finisher
Zero-taper sickle-shaped cleaning instrument that expands at body temperature to contact canal walls that standard instruments cannot reach
