- Consumable pistons required to extrude and compact repair materials through the system's intermediate-sized needles
Uses
- Material Delivery:
- Used exclusively with N°1 Red needles (1.10 mm diameter) to deliver Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) or bioceramic cements
- Universal Repairs:
- Ideal for the most common endodontic procedures, including perforation repairs, pulp capping, and standard apical plugs
- Layering Material:
- Facilitates the precise placement of 4mm material "plugs" into the root canal or surgical cavity
Features
- Sized for Red Series:
- Specifically calibrated for the 1.10mm lumen of the Red N°1 needles (Classic, NiTi, Hooked, and Surgical versions); they are not compatible with Yellow or Blue needles
- Color-Coded (Red):
- The bright red color allows for instant identification, preventing confusion with other sizes during high-stakes clinical procedures
- Smooth-Glide Material:
- Made from medical-grade plastic that provides consistent resistance and smooth movement inside the needle to prevent jamming
- Standard Packaging:
- Typically sold in packs of 16, ensuring a steady supply for busy endodontic practices
Benefits
- Void-Free Placement:
- The plunger ensures that the MTA is delivered as a dense, compacted cylinder, which is essential for creating a hermetic seal and preventing clinical failure
- Maximum Material Efficiency:
- The precise fit ensures that nearly 100% of the loaded material is expelled, minimizing the waste of expensive bioceramic repair materials
- Aseptic Protocol:
- These plungers are autoclavable and designed for single-patient use, upholding the highest standards of infection control in endodontics
- Predictable Performance:
- Standardized dimensions guarantee that the same volume of material is placed with every application, allowing for a more consistent clinical workflow
