Key Features
iRaCe Plus
Extended 4-file sequence (R1a-R1b-R2-R3) designed for narrow and/or severely curved canals where standard iRaCe R1 (15/.06) cannot reach working length — uniform 600 RPM / 1.5 Ncm settings
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)
