Clinical Tips
Speed range: 250-350 RPM (300 RPM recommended)
Gold heat treatment provides 2-3x greater cyclic fatigue resistance
Files may appear slightly curved - this is normal, not a defect
File will follow canal anatomy once inside
Sequence is the same regardless of canal length, diameter, or curvature
Always use minimal apical pressure - never force files
Warnings
- Do not use in severe/sudden apical curvatures - risk of separation
- Contains nickel - do not use on patients with nickel allergy
- Do not immerse in sodium hypochlorite solution
- Multiple reprocessing cycles increase separation risk
- Inspect for distortion, uneven flutes, dull spots before use
- Discard if any unwinding or deformation observed
