Key Features
iRaCe
Simplified 3-file sequence (R1-R2-R3) with iRaCe Plus extension for difficult canals — alternating cutting edges and triangular cross-section at 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)
