NiTi: Design & Structure

NiTiflex-files are manufactured from nickel-titan wire that is ground to give the typical profile of a K-file. The angle between the long-axis and the cutting blade is bigger than in reamers, and therefore preparation by NiTiflex-file is effective both in rotating motion and in filing motion (up and down movement).

The tip of the instrument is non-cutting ('bat-tip') which makes the NiTiflex-file well suited for the preparation of curved canals without the risk of ledge formation.
