Clinical Tips
- Replaces up to 8 instruments (#15-35 hand files + #1-3 Gates Glidden) per product page — may simplify and speed up glide path creation
- FireWire heat treatment provides flexibility and cyclic fatigue resistance (manufacturer claim)
- 1mm maximum flute diameter — conservative coronal preparation
- Compatible as glide path for EdgeTaper Platinum, EdgeOne Fire, EdgeFile X7, and other rotary/reciprocating systems
- Files may appear slightly curved due to heat treatment — this is normal, not a defect (per EU DFU)
- Safe unwinding feature — files are designed to unwind as a safety feature (per EU DFU)
- Used similarly to ProGlider (per product page)
Warnings
- Single patient use only — do not reuse (per DFU)
- Use only in electric motor and handpiece designed for rotary files
- Clockwise rotary motion only — do not use in reciprocating mode (per DFU)
- Contains nickel — do not use on patients with known nickel allergy (per EU DFU)
- Do not use in canals with very severe and sudden curvatures (per EU DFU)
- Wipe the flutes clean often and inspect the file for unwinding or wear
- Do not force files — use light apical pressure
- Non-sterile — requires cleaning and sterilization before patient use (per EU DFU)
