- A high-precision component of the Micro-Apical Placement (MAP) System, this needle is the smallest diameter option in the "Hooked" (rigid) series, specifically engineered for intricate surgical and endodontic repairs where a fixed angle is required for stability
Uses
- Surgical Filling of Cervical Root Resorption:
- Ideal for repairing external or internal defects at the cervical (neck) level of the root
- Simple Retrograde Filling:
- Used for precise apical placement following an apical resection (apicoectomy) in cases where a rigid hooked angle facilitates better access than a curved needle
- Delicate Material Placement:
- Designed to deliver mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or other bioceramic cements into narrow, hard-to-reach areas
Features
- N°0 Smallest Diameter (0.90mm):
- Color-coded Yellow, this needle is the finest in the range, making it the primary choice for the most constrained clinical spaces
- Hooked Geometry:
- Unlike "Memory Shape" or standard curved needles, the hooked design provides a rigid, fixed angle for stable placement during pressure-sensitive applications
- Bayonet Catch Compatibility:
- Designed to lock securely into the standard Swiss-made MAP System stainless steel syringe
- Replacement Set:
- The 20263 package typically includes 1 N°0 Yellow Hooked Needle, 8 matching plastic plungers, and 1 cleaning device
Benefits
- High Precision in Narrow Canals:
- The 0.90mm diameter allows clinicians to perform repairs in extremely small cavities where larger instruments would be too bulky
- Eliminates Material Waste:
- Like all MAP needles, it delivers a pre-compacted cylinder of material directly to the site, preventing "spattering" or dispersion into surrounding tissues
- Consistent Positioning:
- The rigid hooked design ensures that the tip does not flex during material delivery, providing the clinician with maximum control over the filling depth
- Swiss Quality & Durability:
- Manufactured to medical-grade standards, the needle is fully autoclavable for repeated surgical use
