Clinical Tip
NIC positions V Blue as its alternative for Reciproc Blue users — matching R25/R40/R50 naming, S-shaped cross-section, and a pre-bendable blue wire, documented by the manufacturer's draft IFU and catalog only. Choose Reciproc Blue for the extensively studied original with published kinematics, independent fatigue data, and defined retreatment use.
