NIC® V File

No IFU has been issued for the V File. NIC's draft IFU set covers U+, W+, V Blue, KD Blue and MH only, so every statement on this page comes from the manufacturer's fact sheet (2026-08-12) or the 2025 catalog — not from regulatory labelling

Kinematics per the fact sheet: alternating 150° counter-clockwise / 30° clockwise. Speed and torque are printed as program-defined rather than as numbers, so the file is run in the motor's reciprocating program

Document conflict, disclosed: NIC's own product website describes the V File as MaxTech 6.0, while the consolidated fact sheet — the source NIC confirmed as correct — states MaxTech 1.0, untreated. This page follows the fact sheet and flags the discrepancy rather than resolving it silently; it is on the open-questions list for the manufacturer

The V File is the untreated member of the V-Series. It shares the R25/R40/R50 sizes, the S-shaped cross-section, the regressive taper and the 150°/30° program with V Blue; the wire is what differs

NIC's flexibility and pre-bending claims, and its positioning for curvature up to roughly 30°, are stated for the blue MaxTech 6.0 tier. The obtained documents make no equivalent statement for the untreated MaxTech 1.0 wire, so those claims should not be read across to this line

NIC publishes no apical-gauging scheme for this line. The 030 / 050 / 060 gauging sequence on the V Blue page is drawn from the V Blue IFU and is not documented for the V File

NIC's own cross-reference table maps the V-Series to RECIPROC — a manufacturer-claimed correspondence, not an independently verified equivalence

Catalog sequence: straight-line access, size selected from the pre-operative radiograph, reciprocation in the coronal two-thirds with irrigation every three to four pecks, then repeated cycles to working length

Catalog and fact-sheet details: 21/25/31 mm lengths, maximum flute diameter 1.2 mm, ring colours red 25 / black 40 / yellow 50, order-code prefix SFV. The fact sheet's shank-length column is empty for every line, so no shank dimension is stated for this file

Sibling lines on the same fact sheet: V Blue (MaxTech 6.0, already on EndoGuide) and V Mini (MaxTech 6.0, 0.8 mm flute diameter). The catalog also lists a V+ File in MaxTech 3.0 gold, which has no fact-sheet rows and is not published here

Specifications on this page come from the manufacturer's consolidated fact sheet (2026-08-12, the controlling source) and the 2025 catalog; no independent peer-reviewed performance data exists for any NIC instrument (PubMed, checked 2026-08-11)
