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

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)
