Key Features
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)
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)
