HyFlex® GPF
Dedicated rotary glide path system with CM-Wire flexibility, available as Navigator NT (15/01) and CM K Files (15/02, 20/02) for safe and efficient glide path creation
| File | Tip | Taper | Speed rpm | Torque Ncm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Navigator NT | ||||
| Navigator NT 15/.01 | 0.15 | 1% | 500 | 2.5 |
| CM K File | ||||
| CM K File 15/.02 | 0.15 | 2% | 500 | 2.5 |
| CM K File 20/.02 | 0.20 | 2% | 500 | 2.5 |
HyFlex GPF files use 500 RPM and up to 2.5 Ncm torque (per HyFlex family brochure and summary). Any continuous-rotation endodontic motor may be used.
The three-file sequence (Navigator NT 15/.01, CM K File 15/.02, CM K File 20/.02) establishes a smooth glide path from initial scouting to #20/.02.
CM K Files have controlled memory properties, allowing them to track canal anatomy closely without shape memory rebound.
The Navigator NT file is an NiTi file (not CM-Wire), while the two CM K Files use CM-Wire technology.
Reusable files; shape regenerates during autoclaving. Visual inspection after autoclaving serves as a discard indicator.
Available in 21 mm, 25 mm, and 31 mm lengths, as well as assorted packs.
