Vortex Blue®

All files use 500 RPM — no speed changes between files

Crown-down technique: start with larger file, reduce size if resistance is met

.04 taper recommended for moderate to severe curvatures past mid-root

.06 taper for coronal portions of mild to moderate curvatures

Recapitulate with #10 or #15 K-file between each rotary file

Non-cutting tip design reduces risk of ledging and perforation

Patented variable helical angle design (same as ProFile Vortex) — enhances cutting efficiency and reduces thread-in

Convex triangular cross-section enhances cutting action while decreasing rotational friction

Full range available: sizes 15-50 in both .04 and .06 tapers (16 SKUs total)

Matching Vortex obturators, Conform Fit GP points, and paper points available

Manufacturer reports min 65% improvement in cyclic fatigue over M-Wire NiTi (bench data, per current brochure)

Manufacturer reports min 99% improvement over standard NiTi, up to 353% (bench data, per current product page)

Manufacturer reports at least 42% higher peak torque vs M-Wire NiTi, up to 126% (bench data)

Files may appear slightly curved from heat treatment — this is not a defect; files follow canal anatomy once inside
