Clinical Tip

VDW.ROTATE shapes with a three-file basic sequence (15/.04, 20/.05, 25/.04 or .06) at 300–400 RPM, is pre-bendable and reusable for up to 8 cycles per its IFU; Vortex Blue is a single-use crown-down .04/.06 matrix (15–50) at 500 RPM with file-specific torque and blue heat treatment. Choose VDW.ROTATE for a short reusable sequence, Vortex Blue for crown-down size selection across a wide matrix.
