Key Features

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

ProGlider

Single-file mechanical glide path with variable progressive taper (016/.02 to .085 at D16) for gentle canal enlargement before shaping
