PX Wave™
Single 15/.02 (ISO 015/.02) instrument at 300 rpm and 5.0 N·cm torque (per IFU spec table). Brand name "Wave" is consistent with a reciprocating instrument but the PX Wave IFU text does not explicitly call out reciprocating motion — motion type inferred from product family naming
| File | Tip | Taper | Motion |
|---|---|---|---|
| PX Wave 15/.02 | 0.15 | 2% | Reciprocating |
PX Wave spec card publishes only a single 15/.02 (ISO 015/.02) file at 300 rpm and 5.0 N·cm torque (per IFU)
PX Wave IFU body text does NOT explicitly state "reciprocating" — the motion type is inferred from the brand name "Wave" and the file family. Verify motor mode and torque against the actual IFU symbol legend before use
Torque value (5.0 N·cm) is unusually high for a 15/.02 NiTi file — verify motor compatibility and stay within manufacturer settings (per IFU spec table)
PX Wave IFU step-by-step is brief: K-file scout (010/015), then PX Wave glide path "sequentially from small to large" (template phrasing), then check with corresponding files — no detailed peck schedule is published (per IFU section "STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS")
