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
XP-endo Retreatment
Dedicated 3-file retreatment sequence — DR1 active-tip desobturation, XP-endo Shaper gutta percha removal at up to 2500 RPM, and XP-endo Finisher R final cleaning
