- A specialized rigid attachment for the MAP (Micro-Apical Placement) System, designed for clinical situations where a fixed, hooked angle is necessary to deliver endodontic repair materials with high stability and precision
Uses
- Surgical Repair of Root Resorption:
- Specifically used to fill cervical or internal resorption defects that are accessible via a surgical approach
- Retrograde Obturation:
- Ideal for placing MTA or bioceramic cements into the root-end cavity during an apicoectomy
- Precise Material Placement:
- Used when a clinician needs to navigate a specific anatomical angle that requires a rigid instrument rather than a flexible one
Features
- Hooked (Rigid) Design:
- Unlike the NiTi "memory" needles, the hooked series has a fixed geometry, providing a solid platform for compacting material without the needle tip flexing
- N°1 Intermediate Diameter (1.10mm):
- Color-coded Red, this needle is the "workhorse" size, fitting comfortably into most standard surgical preparations
- Bayonet Catch:
- Features the standard MAP System locking mechanism for a secure, leak-proof connection to the stainless steel syringe
- Replacement Set:
- This item is typically sold as a pack containing 1 N°1 Red Hooked Needle, 8 plastic plungers, and 1 cleaning curette
Benefits
- Exceptional Stability:
- The rigid hooked shape allows the clinician to apply controlled pressure during placement, ensuring the material is well-compacted against the cavity walls
- Zero Material Waste:
- By delivering a 4mm pre-compacted cylinder of material, it eliminates the "mess" often associated with carrying MTA on a spatula or plugger
- Improved Surgical Visibility:
- The specific angle of the hook helps move the syringe body out of the direct line of sight, allowing for better visualization under a dental microscope
- Autoclavable Reliability:
- Made from high-grade Swiss stainless steel, the needle is fully sterilizable and built for long-term professional use
