Key Features

K3XF

Original K3 asymmetric triple-fluted design enhanced with R-Phase heat treatment for improved flexibility and cyclic fatigue resistance

PX Wave

Single 15/.02 (ISO 015/.02) instrument at 300 rpm and 5.0 N·cm torque (per IFU spec table). Brand name "Wave" is consistent with a reciprocating instrument but the PX Wave IFU text does not explicitly call out reciprocating motion — motion type inferred from product family naming
