Key Features
TF Adaptive
Adaptive motion automatically transitions between rotation and reciprocation based on canal stress
Traverse
Rotary glide path system with orifice opener and two glide path file sizes — pre-sterilized, triangular cross-section, higher torsional resistance vs competitors (manufacturer comparison)
