Introducing EndoSequence® CM

Brasseler USA is proud to announce the introduction of its latest innovation in NiTi file technology. EndoSequence® CM was developed to provide clinicians with the optimal balance of strength and flexibility.

It is universally understood that traditional “shape memory” NiTi files cut more efficiently than heat treated “controlled memory” NiTi files but they are more susceptible to cyclic fatigue, transport the canal more frequently and can’t be pre-bent for difficult access. Conversely, controlled memory files are optimal in every performance category other than cutting efficiency. This is logical given that heat treated NiTi files are inherently softer (malleable) and more susceptible to torsional fatigue.

Many clinicians have expressed a desire for a controlled memory NiTi file that cuts more efficiently. This is clearly a challenge for design engineers and NiTi manufacturers. In order to provide a solution we have to acknowledge what makes a NiTi file efficient in the first place. Like all rotary cutting instruments there are two key factors to consider when seeking to maximize cutting efficiency: #1 sharp and strong cutting edges that can withstand the torsional forces they encounter. #2 sufficient chip space for debris to escape into. Without sufficient relief area sharp cutting edges have little impact on cutting efficiency and without a strong and sharp cutting edge, chip space is simply a void ready to be filled.
