Clinical Tip

Both are three-file basic sequences in heat-treated wire. RACE EVO runs 15/.04, 25/.04, 30/.04 at 800–1000 RPM / 1.5 Ncm, single-use; VDW.ROTATE runs 15/.04, 20/.05, 25/.04 or .06 at 300–400 RPM with file-specific torque, is pre-bendable and reusable for up to 8 cycles per its IFU, with extended sizes to 60/.04. Choose RACE EVO for speed and a single setting, VDW.ROTATE for reuse and a broader size range.
