- Essential consumable components used to deliver and compact endodontic repair materials through the system's corresponding N°2 blue needles
Uses
- Material Delivery:
- Used specifically to push Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) or other bioceramic cements through N°2 Blue needles (1.30mm diameter)
- Compaction:
- Helps compact a precise cylinder of material directly into the treatment site, whether for orthograde or retrograde procedures
- Restoration Support:
- Vital for procedures like large perforation repairs, apexification (apical plugs), and pulp capping where a larger volume of material is required
Features
- Size Compatibility:
- Specifically calibrated for N°2 Blue needles (diameter 1.30mm); they are not interchangeable with red (N°1) or yellow (N°0) needles
- Color-Coded:
- Bright Blue color allows for immediate identification and prevents cross-contamination between different needle sizes
- Material:
- Made of high-quality medical-grade plastic designed to slide smoothly through the needle's lumen without binding
- Packaging:
- Sold in packs of 16 to ensure clinicians have a fresh supply for multiple procedures
Benefits
- Precision Placement:
- Ensures the repair material is delivered as a 4mm compacted cylinder, preventing dispersion into the surrounding tissues
- Reduced Waste:
- The snug fit against the needle wall ensures that virtually all the loaded material is expelled, which is crucial when using expensive materials like MTA
- Hygiene & Safety:
- Being single-use and autoclavable, these plungers help maintain a sterile workflow and eliminate the risk of cross-patient contamination
- Consistent Results:
- The standardized length and diameter guarantee a predictable amount of material is placed with every application, increasing clinical success rates for endo-specialists
